The importance of a good Discover Weekly has caused me to be super 'careful' with what I listen to. I have a separate Spotify account on my family plan where I listen to stuff I don't like. For instance, it's connected to my Sonos so guests at my house can listen to whatever they want.

Something like an "Incognito Mode" would be a good idea for Spotify and similar services.

They actually have one. "Private listening". But you can't assign certain devices to stay in that mode.

and exists: WIN: File/Private Session Android: Your Library/Settings/Social/PrivateSession

This will cause your songs not to be influencing the AI curated playlists (like Discover Weekly and Daily Playlists)
