My Question or Issue

Until roughly a month or two ago, when using the mobile app, I could 'dislike' a song when listening to the 'Discovery Weekly' list. This would skip to the next song and the song would also be greyed out (disliked) on my desktop app. Now I can only 'hide' a song which greys it out only on the mobile and doesn't auto-skip. This is an extremely annoying change as now I have to click 'hide', click to skip the song and then open the play list on my desktop to go through and clear out all of the songs I didn't like if I don't want to have them play again.

It worked great the way it was. Why did you change this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling just in case, works just the same, can only 'hide'.
