[All Platforms] Customize Start Screen

This is not a new idea, but I haven't found any practical reply to it, so I think it needs to be repeated. I completely agree with Rennestein (screen capture below), we need to stop seeing irrelevant suggestions because it is annoying. Why can't it be possible to decide what we first see when we open Spotify on any device? (playlists, recently played, artists we're following, etc), and enjoy better our Spotify experience?
Please Spotify, let us have the home screen as we'd like. :)) Thank you!

Hey folks,

We appreciate you sharing your feedback on the Community and showing your support to this idea.
 
We're setting this idea to 'Not Right Now', as this isn't something we have any immediate plans to implement. If we do have any new info to share, rest assured we'll check back in here with a new status.
 
Update from the 23rd of Feb 2023:
 
A new feature was recently introduced in the mobile app which you may find interesting as it allows users to remove content recommendations from the subfeeds (Music and Podcasts & Shows) of their Home screen, thus expanding upon the current customization options and offering a improved, more personalized experience. You can find more info about it in the Status update here.
 
Thanks.

Even just implementing one section on the home screen to user defined links would be a huge upgrade. Currently have to wade through too many menus, and scroll through way to many extraneous recommendations.

 

Particularly for an app that I pay for monthly - the bare minimum should be that I can customize a few links if not the entire Home screen.

Why has this suggestion been published since 2017 and Spotify has ignored? If they don’t take action soon, then I may reconsider why I pay for a premium service. I’m offended by some content that Spotify pushes to my home page and I’d really like to make that content disappear. It is causing significant stress disorder and I just cannot see this every time I open Spotify. Please help!

Spotify just paid Harry and Meghan 30 million dollars for their podcast in addition to the 25 million they paid last year, so you guys who hasn't cancelled your plans yet better get ready for more**bleep** shoved down your throats 😄

it's pointless, never updates, and honestly makes me mad. I'm tired of seeing a podcast and playlist that I listened to over a month ago. Get rid of it or fix it.

This morning I opened my main screen and this anti vaxxer guy is on MY screen. I am with Neil Young. It is me or this stupid guy. Since I cannot organise the home screen i cannot make that insult dissapear. The only option left is voting with my wallet. This is what i have just done. See  you all at the next provider

For those that don't know, Apple Music works on Windows and Android. Just how customisable the home screen is I don't know, because I've only been using it a few days, but already I can hear the difference in the lossless sound quality, all for the same price. I suppose it's good to know Joe Rogan is exclusive to Spotify, so we know we won't see him on Apple.

Cancelling my subscription and switching to a service that doesn't force NSFW content on my home screen.

Lol I’m stuck with Emily Montes’s album I listened to as a joke with friends once on my homescreen everyday

Seriously considering deleting Spotify over this. How is this suggestion over 3 years old with over 7,000 likes and there STILL is not anything close to this option. "Status: Not Right Now"--when exactly? If the answer is "Never" then just say "Never".

Thankfully, I was only paying 9.99 (10.81 with tax) but another issue I had is a song would play that I wasn't interested in, so I blocked it and it said "We will not play this song from this album again."  However, the next time I played that album, it would play.  Although I would still like to keep Spotify premium, I just got notice that my job is ending on the 2nd, so I cancelled my subscription the day before it was due.(whew). Hopefully, by the time I get another job, they'll have the issues fixed and I can come back.  While Apple Music Individual is the same price, I really don't want to have to install iTunes on my work computer and depending on the job I get, I might not be able to.
