Considering leaving Spotify because of "shows to try"

I see lots of people requesting to remove the "Shows to try" tab on the home screen. There are also suggestions for adding a customizable home screen or adding the "not interested" button. And the suggestions, ideas, and feature requests about this topic are there for years. 

 

I didn't see there are efforts being made to address those requests. I guess this "shows to try" section must have brought lots of revenue to Spotify. However, as many users have encountered, there is erotic content, inappropriate content, and irreverent content. As a music platform, we are using it everywhere, on the phone, in the car, and on the computer. Therefore, there could be embarrassing situations due to this.

 

There was a time, I would like to record a video clip to show how Spotify works well with a new Windows feature. However, due to the inappropriate content in the "shows to try", it took me really hard to refresh the content to make it less inappropriate but failed. Finally, I have to adjust the window size to hide those contents from the video clip.

 

This "shows to try" is not new, but today, I think it could be the day to do something, it is a little disappointing to see similar topics hanging there for years, so I am seriously thinking of exiting the Spotify subscription and finding another service. I always treat Spotify as a comfort zone to relax but the "shows to try" section is making me uncomfortable.

 

If this message ever has a chance to be seen by a PM, I really hope this could mean something to you.
