No, I often have fear of skipping because I think it might teach the algos I don't like it, when it's just not what I want to listen to now.

Ideally, they should let me like, dislike, skip, hate, completely block artists, and allow me to like multiple times, to teach them the ones I like over and over from the ones I like a little.

So basically Spotify is performing reinforcement learning on you— beautiful!

Beautiful? No, fucking awful. How can you consider this a good thing when there's no way to teach the service what you want to listen to and when?
