Ideas: More control over thumbs for better station tuning

Thumb Downs should be given two options: "I don't like this song." and "This type/style of music is not a match for this station." Actually, add a third option: "Both applies."

The song itself can be  not liked but the style matches the station. It can be liked, but the style isn't the right fit for the station. Or it could be both: not liked, and don't want similar!

 

In the same vein, even Thumb Ups should also offer options: "I like this song, but do not use it to tailor the station." and "Yes, play more of this song and play similar."

Moderator Edit: Changing title for clarity

 

Of course, not Thumbing at all just leaves it be, as a neutral, with the station's running algorithms.

Hi @CSass 

Thanks for taking the time to visit the Community Ideas Board and share such a thoughtful and detailed idea around Thumbs feedback.

I can definitely see the nuance you’re describing, there’s a meaningful difference between not liking a specific track versus not wanting that style to shape a station. The same goes for your suggestions around adding more control to Thumbs Up as well.

We appreciate you laying this out so thoroughly. Feedback like this helps highlight how listeners are thinking about personalization and station tuning.

Also Thumbed Up songs seem to get very repetitive.
