no "not interested" option in recommendation section

I used to be able to hone the recommendations I receive by clicking "not interested" for albums that were bad recommendations. Why is that no longer an option?

Hi Elizabeth,

We recently had to drastically re-vamp how we gather and display recommendations on the site. The ability to dismiss albums you aren't interested in is something that went away but we're interested in bringing it back as a feature in the future (we just have to figure out the best way to do it).

Thanks for this good question.

Please, give everyone a way to not rate certain (most) recommendations.  I have NO interest in rating a muppet soundtrack or any Zappa, Tom Wait, Nick Cave or Nick Lowe records... which all their albums seemed to tend to show up on my recommendations.....?

Thanks Zac.

I do hope you bring back the option of dismissing albums not of interest, because without it, we just end up seeing the same old album recommendations that are way off base, and there is no way to get rid of them. It kind of makes the recommendations repeatedly and unfixably unhelpful.

Elisabeth.
