Unable to remove NSFW podcast recommendation

cshn — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 09:50:07 GMT

Every time i open Spotify, i am flashed with a huge NSFW image in "Episodes for You" (it is the cover of a podcast) which i am unable to remove. I have tried relaunching to refresh recommendations, but this recommendation has not gone after listening to a variety of music for weeks. I don't understand why Spotify would not have a "do not recommend" or "not interested" option and why they have to push this NSFW image in my face every time i open the application which i have never listened to. Please, just help me find a method to remove this.

Hi there @cshn

thanks for reaching out !

The podcast recommendation section is a built widget on the Spotify app and is presented to all users as part of their home page.

Your app's home page recommendations are based on your listening history of music and podcasts.

Important to mention, podcasts and music recommendations aren't effected by each other.

This means that as long as you listen to more podcasts the more the recommendation will match your listening taste.

In addition, i recommend adding your +VOTE to this and this ideas and subscribe to follow on any changes made.

Let me know if you have any further questions 🙂

Yes, why is Spotify forcefully putting pornography on unsuspecting users' home screen and offering no ability to remove it?
