Block an artist

In flow mode you can press the dislike button, but when you are playing music out of that mode, that button disappears. So, I vote for this idea 😉

Hey, I just want the people from deezer to know that this ban list is really needed. I'm using flow to get to know new music. Apart from the fact that the deezer algorithm is the worst it would really benefit if you could ban songs. At the moment whenever I use flow I get to listen to the same mainstream crap day in day out. Oh and it can playback my favorites very well. Awesome.... I really regret that I bought deezer for a whole year which is over in a couple of month. I appreciate deezer Hifi a lot but the usability is so crap that I'll go back to having Spotify for daily listening and having a secondary premium provider for lossless when listening at home at my stereo.

Ban list subito or I'm gone...

I have the same problem. For some reason I have awful local music popping up on my flows. I'd like the feature to permanently block these from my flow. nothing I've Favorited indicates that I like the specific local music that Deezer keeps wanting to force down my throat.

Recently I was greatly dissapointed when I've heared a "disco polo" genre in my speakers.

There is no way (by my favorites) to suggest me genre like that.

The only reason (but unreasonable) is that I live in Poland and such genre may be popular, but come on! Analize my favorites. I was really hurt.

I would really like to ban such genre forever.

Hello,

how to block an artist that I do not want to listen to EVER?

Thank you.

Please see above 😉

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MAKE THIS COME TRUE.

For some reason, Flow won’t stop bringing up Radio Pop and artists such as Miley Cyrus, Martin Garrix, random Trap artists, etc.
Artists I’ve never even liked nor heard on the Deezer app, and whose songs I keep disliking whenever they show up on Flow.
I know I sound like a broken record now, but this really annoys me. I truly wish for this option to be implemented.

the sad unspoken truth is, that neither deezer nor spotify will ever make such a blacklist for you, because artists pay deezer and spotify lots of money for suggesting their music to random people. "Ad-free music" is just an illusion, they keep throwing baguette rap and other mainstream mumblers at you as long as they want

And a great thing was to tell Alexa to play this song never again: "Alexa, dont play this song again" would be nice option!

I would like to see option for dislike an artist. Sometimes Flow or "Listen to" suggests me artist, that I don't like. And I would not want to find it on suggestions again.

That would also help when flow is suggesting me artists from my country. And since I'm from non-English, small country, Deezer thinks that everything that's produced in my country (and language) I would like to listen to. We also have genres.

...
OK, I found practically same suggestion here. Admin, feel free to delete this post. Sorry.

I listen to jazz, blues and smooth EDM, when working and during the day... that is what I want in my flow..

When working out, it is as hard psy- and progressive trance, and whatever I can find fast and heavy.. that is NOT something I want in my flow.

+1 to this. Deezer is not a newly created service, still immature in some aspects. I want to be able to ignore artists (most importantly), or specific albums. I want flexibility and customization.

In such case, we can ignore "Flow" and similar features completely, sticking to manually created playlists. But that's a huge step back. If Deezer doesn't want to meet its users' wishes then someone else will. "Just business, nothing personal".

Yeah, I want Dislike buttons for artist and for songs. Please.

just because i listen to method man does NOT mean that i want to have garbage like xxxtentacion and drake show up in flow. i'm astonished that i can't block them entirely and am going to have to go to another service because this is a very basic feature that deezer does not have.

Spotify just added this feature (block an artist). Deezer, you're getting behind!

It's happening!!!! Android users can now block artists on Deezer! Please update your app to the 6.0.5.271 version!

To block an artist you need to open their page on Deezer and go to the 3 dots on the top.

Hello,
I'm running version 6.0.6.1 (beta) of the Android app, but I don't see any "3 dots on the top" on an artist page nor did I anywhere else find an option to block an artist.

Hi all....

I'm on Deezer Android Beta 6.0.7.1 and I also cannot see the "3 dots on the top" to block an artist. FYI - I've never had this option yet since it was announced 😞

Can we block a language too? I've been getting too much russian crap lately.

Hi there @arkark

Not at the moment. But why don't you start a new convo for that here in the ideas forum?

I experience the same issue. The country I live in or I used to create account shouldn't have anything to do with the type of music flow suggests or at least make it an option I can turn off.

The reason Deezer does not include that option seems to be the money the same artists pay to put their crap in every region. Please Add the functionality, people want to hear what they like, not what the big music companies want us to hear. In a modern global society there's no need to hear the Chart of your home country. Let the people decide which artist is on top, not the music companies 😛

This is so badly implemented. If I dislike an artist but like one of his songs, I keep getting the artist's songs in the Flow no matter what. That's completely illogical and annoying.

Hi there @Luisfer and @tmt

Thanks for the input. I've passed the feedback on!
