Add "remove video content" option to Spotify Family

Please add an option to "remove video content" to Spotify Family! Since video podcasts were added, my children now watch videos on Spotify instead of listening to music.  I had given them unlimited access to Spotify (unlike other apps) because it was only used for music.  

 

All you'd have to do is add another toggle for "remove video content" next to "Remove explicit content".

 

Spotify Kids is not an option for us.  My children are teens and tweens.  And because they're teens and tweens, they have a very difficult time turning off compelling video content (just like some adults).  If Spotify becomes just another screen to stare at, I'm not sure we want to keep our Family membership.

Hey how about we try to create a viral post on social media about this? It’s possibly the only way they will ever listen is if they are getting slammed in media! 

Perhaps posting a link to this ‘feedback’ and get as many people as possible to bump it up? #spotifylistentoparents perhaps can be a tag?

@Mazatron - this is what I've done already. Only in Polish but I don't have reanges strong enough to make a noise. I'll add eng. version later.

I used your #. Great idea!

Oh please please please. I'm paying for Spotify so it can be an alternative to Youtube. Not another platform for YouTube content. It's so distracting and really disrupts our productivity! 
They're teens, I don't mind them surfing new music artists. I do mind them watching OddOnesOut when they need to be working.

Not to mention the "explicit filter" relies on submitter flagging. My pre-teens can (and have) accessed content that is straight up pornographic. The titles didn't even try to hide it. It just wasn't flagged appropriately.

Lizzie - share this on FB if you can with the hashtag #spotifylistentoparents

I completely agree. I have been trying in vain for weeks to find a way to delete these podcast videos from my children accounts. I paid for a family subscription so that my children could listen to music, not so that they could watch videos without any control ! So I will have to turn to your concurents until you suggest a solution...

Spotify fails to understand that inappropriate content is not just lyrics.  With the proliferation of video content all over Spotify, the amount of content I don't want want my child seeing far outweighs any concerns I have about inappropriate lyrics.

We need this feature, too. Please add it soon.
