They do have a dislike button though, the thumbs down icon next to the play controls (on the desktop version of Spotify).

It's there only if you listen to a radio, not to a playlist.

There's a way to consume Discover Weekly as a station instead of a playlist. ;)

How exactly? — Ah, figured it out:

- Go to the DW playlist

- Click the "..." options button

- Then to "Go to Playlist Radio"

- "Follow" the DW playlist radio

- You can now up/downvote songs

If you had it all on screen you would talk of button fatigue. Users are the worst.

Did you know Spotify also has a its approve and disapprove buttons in the desktop app on opposite sides depending on what particular radio-like feature you're using?

Not for Discover Weekly they don't. Only your Daily Mixes and other radio stations.
