How to block all content from a specific country (ru)

[Dimens83]

I would like to stop this music being offered by my player as a suggestion. Would appreciate the option to completely block it from my Spotify player quickly.

How can I refuse any content in russian that Spotify constantly offers me in playlists of the week and suggested albums? I don't want to listen to any songs in russian, I always remove them from the proposed, but every time Spotify offers them. Is there such a function and is it possible to do it individually?

[vBagnet]

Same problems, no solution for now.
Keep pushing, until they fix it.

I have the same problem. I don't want to listen to songs in Russian. I don't want to listen to podcasts in Russian. I never listened to them. Why does Spotify keep offering them to me? This is insulting considering that Russia is currently destroying my country and my people. Every minute, I and my loved ones can die from Russian. And at the same time, I cannot prohibit these recommendations and am forced to constantly wade through them

[Tmaar]

Yeah, I would like this too. Out of nowhere, my discover weekly is full of ruzzian songs.

How do I get Spotify to stop playing songs in Spanish? I'm constantly needing to mess with Waze as I drive to switch over to the Spotify menu to skip songs because it seems like every other song that is played is in Spanish and I do not speak Spanish. I have never favorited a song that was in Spanish either. I'd like to keep my eyes on the road rather than skip songs every 10 minutes because they are in a language I do not speak.

Problem:

   At 8/31/2023 in new Release Raday i've experienced a weird issue for me.

   For a long time Spotify was correctly mixed this playlist for me. After latest release i see artits that i did not listen for whole year. I dont want to see these artists at all. I know that I can block them by blocking each artist (There are a lot artists which i want to block)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal/Solution to me is:

    Add possibility to block artists by language of their tracks or regions of their distributions.

Hi I also have a problem with Spotify suggestion. All of a sudden they started to propose me jazz artists and playlist. I do not like jazz and don't want to listen to them. Is it possible there is no way to block unwanted suggestions? I also tried to block jazz artists but they keep suggesting me.

[Nyobir]

Same problem as above.

I would like some ability to tweak around how recommendations work for me in Spotify, because I hadn't listened for russian songs for like 2 or 3 years, but still, these songs appearing every week in my recommendations(

Also it could be that Spotify algorithms are confusing other languages with russian such as (Lithuanian, Polish, or Ukrainian) ?

If so, it would be awesome to correct that behavior

[Aaron1970]

I had to remove the app and go back to Pandora. I could not figure out a way to make it stop playing Spanish language songs for every 3rd song.

@Spotify please make it possible 🙏

Dear Spotify
PLEASE SUNCTION AND BLOCK ALL russian CONTENT ON YOUR SERVERS.
The aggressive nation has no place in this world and must not be allowed to spread their language or culture anywhere apart from their own country. They can create their own website and listen to it.
At the same time you MUST NOT ALLOW ANY russian to subscribe to Spotify either to a free or a premium content. russia has the most of the pirated content in the world and they do not deserve access to the World's creations of music, art, literature and science.
Please consider my message very seriously as many peaceful people got killed by this fascist russian  country.
It may sound like a very harsh action but this is the only way they understand.
Please help us to conquer the evil 
With kindest regards
Your loyal listener.

Same problem here.

While me and my friends financially support Ukraine, Spotify makes me support russia with no way to opt out. It’s ridiculous and unacceptable.

I understand that product wants to remain future-proof, non-bias, and also avoid the “whataboutism”, so there is no easy and legal-friendly way to disconnect all russians from spotify. A simple country or artist value filter would be enough to address the issue for the time being.

Please find and prioritize the solution, because people are dying!

Why does Spotify offer rusian bloggers to me? I've never listened to them!!! How can I restrict all the **bleep**-content from that hotbed of terrorism?!

My Question or Issue

[SeMmy]

Same freaking issue. Started listening to Ukrainian music, and got a bunch of russian pop in recommendations (Discover weekly).

I do not wish to "Discover" russian music.

[liberborn]

The same issue in October 2024. Why the **bleep** should I listen to Russian music whose creators are killing my country and my neighbors? A year ago, my flat was almost destroyed by a Russian missile in Lviv, Ukraine. Now, Spotify is proposing Russian songs. I'm a premium user. I want to have a simple feature to block some language.

[Alve21]

Same here

[Tualatin]

Same here. Spotify, add an option to block all russian content otherwise I will stop using your services!

[picka4y]

Same problem. @Spotify, please make it possible to block/filter out artists based on their country. Youtube Music has such feature for instance...
