It enables users to tell Spotify which playlist they want to have a smaller impact on their recommendations, tailoring the platform’s personalisation experience to users’ needs. So if you have a playlist for workouts or a kids’ playlist, this feature will let you stop songs from those playlists to be available in your Taste Profile, which recommends songs in your Daily Mix playlist. However, when users exclude a playlist from their ‘Taste Profile’, they can still find it in their Home tab, and “liked” songs within the playlist will remain unaffected.
