TL;DR
- YouTube Music is testing a highly requested “Don’t recommend artist” button on Android to block unwanted musicians.
- The feature currently only appears on the app’s home page. It does not appear in the playing queue or generated playlists.
- Early testers report that tapping the button currently does nothing to actually block the unwanted artists.
YouTube Music users have long requested a “block” button for songs and artists that would let them permanently skip tracks they do not want to listen to. Google has largely ignored this request, leaving users to cook up their own blocking extension. But it seems Google has finally listened, as a user has now chanced upon a new “Don’t recommend artist” button on YouTube Music.
Reddit user RouFGO spotted the new “Don’t recommend artist” button on their YouTube Music app on Android.
