[All Platforms] Block / disallow suggestions for certain content

The last 8 times I've opened Spotify I've been greeted by a big waiting Bible podcast recommendation sat there. I get the hint Spotify, but stop. It was cool the first time. It was boring the second. And it is in fact so annoying by the 8th time that I have to write this post to ask for this feature to be implemented.

I hope it's been made clear: I don't want to listen to the bible, much less on Spotify, and there is no way within the app to ask it to stop recommending me this, honestly, outrageously offensive content. I would very much appreciate this feature, thanks in advance. I'm sure the bible people would appreciate such a feature as well!

Hey there folks,

 

This suggestion got moved to the wrong place by mistake and we're setting it to live idea again. Thank you all for bringing your feedback in the Spotify Idea Exchange.

 

We're keeping the previous Not Right Now status, as we don't have any immediate plans to implement this. As soon as we have any new information to share, rest assured we'll check back in here.

 

Take care.

It took 2 support reps 2 hours to confirm what I'd already found online in 10 minutes. Developers need to prioritize this functionality for podcasts, as it is for music.

 

I'd like the ability to exclude a podcast from my algorithm or preferences without work arounds. I agree with another commenter that I don't want to downvote the podcast to make the content suffer simply because I don't want to see it in my feed.

 

Sidenotes:

Spotify could also invest in support resources so it's not a waste of customer and company time to weed through whatever documentation mess you have given them to work with.
