If some number of artists that are followed collab on some number of songs, those songs will get duplicated, once per artist.

Something something election please

There's a few artists, namely dead classical composers that have huge collections of albums, because every musician that plays their music has their stuff go on Spotify under their name. Generally speaking, I don't actually really care to get new releases from these composers, since they don't have any new ones, just new performances.

Adding a flag that takes in something like a file of blacklisted artist names may do the trick. It should be optional, but if provided, artists matching any of the names in that list will be skipped.

For example, fangirl's execution for myself from Mar 31 - May 1 included "Through the Night" by Elephant Gym three times. Unclear why.

This song was made purely by Elephant Gym, and was not a collaboration, so it is not related to #2.

Slightly morbid perhaps, but dead artists do not produce new music. If they ever appear in my playlist, it's because someone was playing music they composed. Mostly, this is for classical artists like, e.g., Bach, but it also applies to some other artists. For example, it's decently prevalent in some of my jazz music, where some of the artists are dead, e.g., John Coltrane.

Perhaps we can take the artist name and look them up on Wikipedia. If they have a death date, then we can ignore them...
