Many of you are probably familiar with the situation that Spotify plays songs by an artist you are not really interested in. An upcoming feature is intended to remedy this.
Even if the new function has not yet been activated for many users, it could The Verge them already offprobeer and tell about it. This upcoming feature allows you to easily block artists you no longer want to hear songs from. These will then no longer appear in any playlist or in any library. They will then no longer be heard on a Spotify radio either. However, songs that featured a blocked songwriter will still be visible.

But why does such a functionality find its way into Spotify if the streaming provider originally? was against it? The reason for this is a rapper named R. Kelly, who is accused of sexual abuse. And even though Spotify banned his music from all playlists because of user protests, his songs could still be listened to. The removal from the playlists was still not enough for the protesters, which is why a blocking feature was now being demanded.
