[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.

Spotify keeps playing Podcasts I do not listen to—specifically the Joe Rogan experience—every time I connect to my car stereo. Even when I have an actively playing Podcast! Letting me block the dang thing would hopefully prevent this, though honestly I’m considering just moving to a different Podcast listening app.

My Question or Issue  On my home screen I get recommendations for audiobooks because I opened (not read) a book once. There needs to be an option to delete these recommendations in audiobooks. OK for music as seems to be better AI but not for audiobooks as there is not the volume to make a recommendation. How do I delete these recommendations?

Stop giving me sponsored recommendations on my homepage, they're all pish recommendations. Plus my main gripe is that I pay a monthly subscription not to get ads  and yet I'm still getting ads.

Currently, there are some podcasts whose content makes me uncomfortable, but I can't find a way to make them disappear from my homepage. There is already a similar function “Do not play songs by this artist”, although I have not used it. But if this function is also added to podcasts, I would be very happy.

we are suggested podcasts that I am not interested in at all, that I have heard once and would not like to hear again. I would like to deactivate or remove these suggestions

For example:

 

I have blocked Kendrick Lamar Screen shot below:

However I am continuously fed tracks by the artist in my feeds and recommendations e.g.

Sometimes it gets so bad the entire screen is just Kendrick Lamar e.g.
