And while we're on the subject, if Spotify could also stop lumping several artists of the same name together on the same profile, that'd be great. There's an old surf-rock band called the Astronauts that I listen to sometimes, and at one point there were albums from at least four different bands included on their discography page. There's still at least two.
There's a kid calling himself Prince.
No.
I keep getting served some supremely mediocre eastern European hip-hop in Release Radar and other Spotify-generated playlists because of some guy who performs as Devo. Same with guys performing as Slayer, Poe, etc.
A lot of the time they're listed on the track along with two or three other people, so I go to the pages of those associated acts and tap the "don't play this artist" option in the three dots menu, and that usually cuts down on how much I see them in my feeds. At least until they do a new collab.
