[All Platforms] Block / disallow suggestions for certain content

[NachiMoreno]

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!

Nowadays that Spotify creates playlists with Podcasts and Musics there is times that we don't want to hear some podcasts shows in ours accounts. That's why I'd wish to Spotify implements the "Don't play this" option in podcasts too.

I find it horribly frustrating that there is no way to remove or even move around the different suggestions on the Home screen.

I do not want to subscribe to or listen to the Spotify original podcast about daily horoscopes. Yet there is no way to remove it from my Home page, there is no way to drag and drop it to the bottom so I can avoid being reminded it's there, there is no way to even go into the podcast and say "I didn't enjoy this." or "I don't want other suggestions like this." The only options are "Follow" and "Share" both of which are completely the opposite of what I require.

Please let us delete unwanted podcasts, playlists, suggestions and other banners from our Home screens!

On a personal note I find it annoying and irresponsible that Spotify can justify a horoscopes podcast based on pseudo-science and superstition being plastered all over everyone's Home screens with no option to remove it, in an age where combatting damaging misinformation and the anti-science movements should be at the forefront of all social media platforms.

Need a way to prevent Unwanted content from continually being pushed on me. Some artist i don't ever want to hear and I never want to listen to any pod casts, Yet I am forced to stare at the splash for all the things I never want to hear. and no way to prevent it from being recommended to me.

I'm getting tired of seeing podcasts such as 'Hail **bleep**' constantly being placed in my 'Shows to try' area.

Hilariously your own website censors the podcast title (hint : sounds close to Hail Satin), but you have no problem with forcing it on your users.

Feel free to keep that and similar podcasts available for people to listen to if desired, but let me flag it as something I don't want to ever see again.

Yes, please let me hide podcasts, disable the section on my home page or at least mark abhorent podcast as "not interested, don't show me this **bleep**".

Never listened to a single podcast on Spotify and have no interest in it. But the worst are the podcasts being suggested. Like, I have a podcast by a far right Brazillian nazi-like "philosopher" suggested and another two with openly sexual connotation. wth.

I unsubscribed from Premium today because I keep getting recommended podcasts that I believe are ethically and morally harmful to society. Please give us the option to block podcasts from certain individuals or give us the ability to completely block podcasts.

Once this feature is implemented, I will resubscribe to premium.

Please add this feature! I'm tired of being recommended podcasts from a known and proud bigot who demeans my community and promotes anti-vax talking points.

Spotify must add ability to remove recommendations (same system as youtube downvoting, which DISAPPEARS unwanted recommendations after thumbs down) within the player, both normal and web player. It is irritating to watch all these worthless recommendations which Spotify gives WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO DOWNVOTE THEM. 

Imagine a buffet where you HAD TO sample ALL the things that are on display, instead of CHOOSING your pleasures. Why would you treat your customers with such despise? WHY WOULD YOU TREAT US LIKE THIS SPOTIFY? 

GIVE US DOWNVOTE, FOR CHRISTS SAKE. WE KNOW YOU HAVE IT HIDDEN IN SOME DRAWER. TAKE IT OUT AND BE A MAN. DO THE RIGHT THING, FOR ONCE!

Every time I open Spotify I am greeted with a banner of podcasts under "Shows you may like" With such "lovely characters" as Joe Rogan, and Jordan Peterson and pictures of their faces which I "really enjoy" looking at.

There is no button I can click to tell Spotify to never, ever show me these people ever again.

Because I never listen to podcasts I assumed that Spotify doesn't know that I don't have ever desire to hear a word out of these "gleaming examples of men", So I assumed that if I listened to dnd and history podcasts, it might give the algorithm a hint that I really don't want to listen to far right hate preachers.

But no...

Please, Please add a "No, I will not like this" button for podcasts so I don't have to see their faces and be reminded of their existence.

That or a "F*** off" button, or a "Cancel spotify premium" under each of them.
