Does a Thumbs up or down affect a station or my overall music likes?

I have a station called Eagles Radio, but it often plays John Denver and other artists that I don't want to hear when I'm looking for Eagles Radio.  I don't want to Thumbs down John Denver songs because I also have a John Denver Radio for when I'm in a John Denver mood.  That said, I want to stop my Eagles Radio from playing a bunch of songs and artists that I don't want there, but don't want those thumbs affecting other radio stations.  How does this work? 

Overall, MOST of my stations have gone way too diversified in what they offer, and I'd like to narrow the focus of each station to be better aligned with my target (e.g., Eagles OR John Denver, not Eagles AND John Denver).

Thumbs are station specific: rating a song with a Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down on one station will not affect any of your other stations.

Will a Thumbs Up register in just the playlist where it was done? Or will that song be considered a Thumbs Up in all of my playlists?

Ok, here's my question, when did you make the thumbs up and down relatively useless to the free product consumer?

I've spent hours with your algorithm trying to cultivate a channel to a specific genre of music and keep having to watch adds to thumbs down the same types of music for hours.

So, like, follow up question?

If the free version is only going to become more cumbersome, where is the incentive to pay for a slightly less crummy version of the same math?

Are songs down voted while playing an artist deep cuts Playlist a random song appears i don't want (like the song, just not in this playlist).  If I down vote it will still be available in other playlists?  Or is it blacklisted for good?
