Pinterest Tool tip: Hide pins you don't like

I followed an image link from a google search result and it led me to Pinterest. 
The tooltip was automatically displayed.


After I clicked "Got it!" the tooltip went away. Then when I clicked the 3 dots, then this tooltip was displayed.

Spotify: When your music ends...

I was listening to music that I had saved to my queue. 
When the last song was finished I started hearing music I wasn't familiar with, yet it was a style I enjoyed. When I switched back to Spotify a notification banner informed me 
"When your music ends, we continue playing similar songs for you. You can turn this off in Settings."
This is a fantastic message for 2 reasons. It explained behavior from the system that I didn't request, and it explained how I might modify the system if I did not want it.
