Any news on whether Apple is considering making Music a little more robust/competitive with other services? I would really love to be able to block artists from playing on Music. So far, I've only found the "suggest less" feature, but like, there are a few artists I truly never want to hear.
MrHoffman has provided the correct answer on speculation of Apple intentions in future features.
With that said, when I choose "Suggest Less" on an Artist, for the most part they are never played again. The one exception I have found is when there is a collaboration with an Artist that I have liked. For Example, Brittany Spears is one of my Suggest Less Artists, yet Elton John is one of the Artists I like so I did hear that "Hold Me Closer" song that was a collab with those 2 artists, but after choosing "Suggest Less" on that song, I have not heard it again. Besides that, there has never been a Brittney Spears song played in my 6 years of my daily use with Apple Music suggesting songs on my way to and from work.

For all those saying the “play less” feature means you don’t hear from the artists anymore - you are absolute full of BS.
Taylor swift has been “play less” since I started to use Apple Music and she still appears everywhere for me.

Beyond that all we can do is report what has worked for us. I had a similar experience with Brittany Spears as seen in my previous post and after following those steps I have never heard a single song again by that Artist. Your other option is to use the Feedback link provided by MrHoffman, since that information would be sent to Apple and not just to other Apple users. .
Those that know what plans Apple might have can’t or won’t comment here, and those that don’t know don’t know.
