[All Platforms] Customize Start Screen

[user-removed]

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!

The inability to customize or at least trim down the home screen across devices is a must-have. 

I checked out 1 pod cast once, and I get some useless suggestions as a result. 

How about some proper customer service on this?

Many thanks

I’m seriously thinking in canceling my premium subscription 

Hate to see things I don’t like

Like somebody else said, it’s going to be spotibye

Apple Music looks a lot better

I left spotify a few days ago after the podcast sh*t. A breath of fesh air at the new provider. No podcasts whatsover. Instead I get video with selected music. Come on guys leave, there is much brigher light on the other size of the tunnel.

My subscription expires in 2 weeks. They last thing to do is request account deletion and a demand for a report that demands what is still on record (GDPR). Please follow suit 😉

I went to Tidal 🙂

How many votes does it need until someone looks into this? Your recommendations are really really annoying.

It seems every app Home page wants to control what we see.  This is a marketing tool to try to get us to "pay" more, and hey, it's business.  And we have the option to ignore this, as I do.  I used to get iritated as it distracted me from why I came to Spotify, to listen to music of my choice.  And long ago the interface was much better.  But they need to make money, and I am also a paying Premium client.  So we must suffer with what they want.  It is just like Apple consistently turning on "show Apple Music" after every update andafter you re-boot your iPhone.  Turning it off each and every time is the very first thing I do.  So these same situations also apply to many other apps.  But what the app developers do not see is that this gives other app developers an opportunity to design their app for easy use.  Look at all the music apps out there - Spotify, Apple Music, Soundhound and Pandora and many others.  Not even including streaming radio station apps with hundreds of stations.  Apps need to change, but they also risk running away clients, paying clients like myself, when their app gets messy.

This is just embarassing. 7k+ votes for something that should be (and probably is) super simple to implement, but 'not right now'?! The literal only reason I'm still with Spotify is I'm getting it for free with my internet subscription, otherwise I'd be long gone. This is just the latest in a long long LONG list of user complaints/feature requests Spotify is structurally ignoring. The second Spotify stops being free for me, I'm gone.

Yes, I hate the podcasts taking such a prominent place on my homescreen. I also made the mistake of accidentally listening to a podcast and now I'm stuck with that nonsense..  It would be a lot better if I could delete it, disable it, put it at the bottom (in that order). Every time I open Spotify I am annoyed. Please Spotify, do something about this!

I would really like the ability to hide or downvote content that is shown as featured in the app. I have no interest in Joe Rogan or Jordan B Perterson, I find their views polarizing and offensive. Maybe it's Spotify's goal to turn all its users into assholes so it might be time to consider switching streaming services.

Please, please allow customization of the Home Screen! I love everything else about Spotify. I listened to one episode of one podcast then quickly decided it wasn't for me. Now Every Single Time I open the app, the pod's splash screen is staring at me. I've been subscribing to other podcasts just to see if it will knock this one off! 

Spotify, if you can't alter your business model to let us change what's displayed maybe allow an option to open to My Library instead of Home?
