Fix/Show "Hide" Button For Discover Weekly in Web View

Fix/Show "Hide" Button For Discover Weekly in Web View

communityname_0-1735888767003.png

 

When using open.spotify.com in browser, the "Hide" button for tracks played from Discover Weekly does not appear. It will only appear when the Spotify tab is reloaded, and only for the currently queued track. Changing to the next song in Discover Weekly will remove the "Hide" button, leaving only the option to "Add to Liked Songs." This makes it difficult and time consuming to tailor your Discover Weekly since you have to refresh each time you want to hide a song

I have the same issue in Spotify for Windows (64 bit) 1.2.52.442.g01893f92 where the hide/dislike button in Discover Weekly is not shown at all. Neither in the currently playing view

Nor in the playlist view:

I am having the same issue, really frustrating. The hide song/MINUS button has completely disappeared from my discover weekly playlist.

Same issue. Also using browser. Seems fine in ios app. I don't know when it disappeared as I only use the browser at work

same issue! I would love to have the button back so my Discovery Weekly can tailor-made the song list weekly. 

same issue! The most used button of the windows app... The discovery weekly is degrading also the quality of the recomendations... so I need the button!!!

Hey folks,

We can confirm that the Hide this song feature in Discover Weekly is no longer available on the desktop app and web player. You can still find it in the mobile app.

just adding my voice to the others, would like to have it back sooner rather than later

"We can confirm that the Hide this song feature in Discover Weekly is no longer available on the desktop app and web player. You can still find it in the mobile app." 

 

What does this even mean? Are desktop/Web users not valid customers anymore?
Please add it back. Why would you remove a functionally that makes the app worse?

"This small button that is not in the way of the interface in any way but is hugely important for having our users sift through our suggestions, aka this almost unmissable feature in Discover, must be removed to improve our product"
Yeah that sounds like a good idea Spotify... Just add it back ASAP...

 

 

absolutely frustrating. I was using a lot the discover weekly on laptop when working, and listening to the lists several times every single week since years ago, but every week i had to remove/hide between 1 and 5 songs. Now if i can't do this, **bleep**, since some songs i don't like will appear again and again. I will probably stop using the discover weekly if they don't add this button again… i mean: spotify has a lot of useless options and shitty things, why do they remoe some tiny little thing taht was so useful!!??

Absolutely ridiculous decision to remove this feature.  Whoever came up with it should never be listened to again.
