IMO it’s a mistake to try to draw any conclusions from skip actions or from what a user is listening to, as opposed to from explicit like/dislike actions. There are just too many reasons why someone may be skipping a track or (appear to) be listening to tracks. As a user, I don’t want to be in the position of having to fear that the algorithm will misinterpret my skipping or my letting some playlist play.
