We got in touch with Spotify, who told us that they are indeed testing the like/dislike as a possible new feature for Discover Weekly, as they already have it for Daily Mix. However, there's no news on when, or if, it'll become a feature for everyone, because they are just testing it.

Spotify's Discover Weekly playlist is a popular feature, and people have used it to stream just under 5 billion tracks in a year. Plenty of people have been waiting for a like/dislike function to better train their algorithm-powered recommendations, so if the feature indeed makes it through it should be popular.
Some of the tweets about it go back to 2015 and 2016...
