items at top of home screen - hasn't changed in months and can't adjust

[draeath]

Plan: Spotify Premium, USA

Devices/OS: Multiple (desktop & linux, android 13) - same problem (and same content) across all devices.

In the attached screenshot, this post is regarding the section under "Good evening" and above "Discover something new" (ie, where it shows "Infected Mushroom Radio" and others).

My questions:
1. What is this section called?
2. This hasn't changed since my first few days with Spotify. Is this normal?

3. I can't seem to adjust or remove anything from here. Is this correct?

4. What causes items to go into this section? I hate one of the albums and listened to it for all of 10 minutes, once, ages ago. Two other items, while I like, I also haven't touched in ages.

Hi there @draeath,

Thanks for the post.

I'll do my best to answer your questions:

1. The Good Evening/ Afternoon/ Morning section of the Home page features music and podcasts you've either listened to or might be interested in.
2. The section updates over time based on your listening activity. It will update only when the Spotify algorithm has gathered enough data. For some users it might update daily, for others it might take a few weeks or until you start listening to something new.
3. You can't manually remove items. This happens automatically when you listen to new content. You can add your +Vote to this Idea about removing items from that section.
4. As I said previously, it's automatically updated. Following a new artist or podcast will cause your Home landing page to update with their content.

Hope this helps.
