Free Advice to the Technology Industry pt.1: Get Me My Dealy

Someone needs to invent a dealy. It would be a little dealy that you can press a button "NEVER PLAY THIS SONG AGAIN." And then it won't! But meanwhile, it will continue to play other songs based on the kind of stuff it thinks you like, in its feeble little machine-mind estimate of your tastes.

You'd just hone it. You'd keep honing it. It would refine its idea of you based on your incessant hone. Of it.

And then plus, of course, you can switch between genres and stuff. That button would work at any level: song level, artist level, genre level.

Or maybe there would be more than one button! Although...I guess maybe that seems like backsliding a bit, technology-wise.
