Add a working dislike on every artists page so it will NEVER appear in Flow again.
I understand that we can missclick so it's not banned when i dislike a song but it's ridiculous now.

I can't login on my account for some reason but i have 300 favorites, not a single french song and i keep seeing shitty french rap songs like PNL, Damso and other crap.

Give us the ability to get artists out of Flow for good. I don't want to dislike their songs everytime I plug Flow in.

I love the FLOW option, but as your subroutines are only digital, they have no idea that if I click the X on songs by artists I dislike fervently, I actually sometimes mean I NEVER, ever want to hear anything by bands like Coldplay again. But it just blocks that particular song and I am not aware of another place where I can X all their songs or an artist entirely (yes, please), but there should be one.

Is that a possibility? Cuz if your subroutines shuffle Coldplay or Mumford and Sons on my Flow once again, I'm gonna pout fervently and roll my eyes.

Thanks!

Please can we add this. I really want to block Brian Adams and Staind.

Op's description hits the spot

Flow should get the point after disliking a song by the same artist 5 times in a row

There is a function to add an artists music en masse to your playlists or hit the love button but there is nothing to stop certain artists music ever coming up in my flow.
My case in point is I dont want to listen to Gary Glitter the convicted peodophile as I really dont want to earn a sicko like him any royalties, Personally i dont think his music should even be on your service.
I only have the the option to hit X when the music is played but i dont want any of his music to ever come up.

Are you going to have an option to stop music completely from an artist?

Hi, I would like to suggest a button to indicate that i don't like certain artist or song, because when i open the main page i have suggestions of music i don't like and i never played so i'd like to delete them. That's all, thank you for your time. I leave a foto as an example.

Deezer seems to think I want to listen to Bruce Springsteen on my FLOW. They could not be more wrong. I have un-liked him [the nega-heart thing] on every occasion a track of his comes up. I refuse to listen to him, ever! He keeps coming up [wtf], how do I kill it? I thought FLOW was supposed to learn your preferences? Or has its AI developed a cruel sense of humour?

If he keeps coming up, I will cancel my subscription. I don't want to listen to him for free, let alone on a pay service.

Hi there 🙂 So an artist will be banned automatically when you dislike 3 of their tracks. I checked your disliked tracks and could only find two from Bruce Springsteen. So with the next disliked track from him, he should not appear in your Flow again :)
Let me know, if it still happens after the next time you dislike a track 🙂

Hi Anja, thanks for the reply. It felt like I'd disliked his tracks on more than two occasions, but I guess the logs don't lie?

There really should be a more straightforward way to 'ban' artists. I doubt anybody wants to hear an artist they loathe 3 times?

Totally, i would also love to block entire lists for example Reggaeton or Hip Hop. I would never listen to that.

I agree blocking artists would be great. Also, can we please have flow based on genre, sometimes I want to listen to international/foreign music only, sometimes I just want to do classic sometimes rock, but not a blend.
