How to remove music from your Spotify taste profile

Has another Spotify Wrapped come and gone where your top songs and artists were distorted by the ambient noise you listen to while you sleep or the tunes your kids like? There's a fix for that.

The streaming giant has the option for you to remove playlists from your "Taste Profile," which is how Spotify defines the music you like. When you exclude music from your Taste Profile, it won't impact what Spotify recommends to you as much. Additionally, songs and artists on playlists removed from your Taste Profile won't be in your top songs or artists on your Wrapped, but they will contribute to your total time listening. However, if you listen to the songs outside of the playlist, it will still be included in your Taste Profile.

Once you remove a playlist, it will take 48 hours before it is actually withdrawn from your Taste Profile. Note that if you exclude a playlist from your Taste Profile now, the changes won't be reflected in your Spotify Wrapped for this year — but at least next year's will be more accurate.

Here's how to exclude a playlist from your taste profile.

How to remove a playlist from your Taste Profile:

1. Open Spotify

2. Navigate to the playlist you want to exclude

3. Tap the three gray dots

4. Scroll down and select "Exclude from your taste profile"

Happy listening!

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itself w

A scientist examines computer images of DNA models. Getty Images Police in Colorado have cracked the cold cases of four women killed 40 years ago. Denver PD said genetic genealogy and DNA analysis helped them identify the serial killer. He had died by suicide in jail in 1981. DNA from his exhumed body matched evidence from the murders. Police in Colorado have cracked the code on four murder cases that went unsolved for 40 years, using DNA from the killer's exhumed body. The cases pertain to four women killed in the Denver metro area between 1978 and 1981. They were 33-year-old Madeleine Furey-Livaudais, 53-year-old Dolores Barajas, 27-year-old Gwendolyn Harris, and 17-year-old Antoinette Parks. The four women were stabbed to death. Denver Police Commander Matt Clark said in a press conference Friday that there was an "underlying sexual component" to the murders but didn't elaborate further.
