Q: Why does Apple Music Radio keep playing songs I've marked as "Dislike"

See subject line for question.

 

Since moving to iOS10; I've noticed a few things that are weird/not as intuitive or just plain not working with Apple Music "Radio". I am a paid subscriber of Apple Music.

 

I listen to one of the premade stations on Apple Music pretty much constantly.  There are about 4 songs in the rotation that I hate. I've marked them as "Dislike" in the interface that comes up for it. (Honestly, not sure why this is now on a different screen--the previous incarnation's Like and Dislike functions worked better).  The station KEEPS PLAYING THE SONGS not only right after I hit "dislike" but then again later on.  Is Apple Music even listening to me ?

 

CarPlay's interface for Music has now also changed. If a song comes up that you really love (or hate). The only button you see is a "+" symbol.  When I hit that, I get no feedback from the interface so I have NO CLUE what it is even doing.  There is no similar interface for DISLIKE either.

 

Can someone help me out here. Am I missing something or is this new design just not very good?

    As far as I know the Apple music radio "stations" are basically just curated playlists based on genre or activity etc and the contents of the list aren't affected by an individuals likes or dislikes. Where dislikes should come into play is the "For You" recommendation section.
