[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.

You listen to music for 833 days a year? That's truly impressive!

Things like podcast don't belong in this MUSIC-app. I did not pay for this. My whole homescreen is screaming podcasts, I want them gone! If you take a look at how many people are complaining on and off the forum about this topic you would know there are many users not satisfied about this. I don't understand why you would continue to push this **bleep**. I get recommendations about things I will never listen, and in fact I will never ever listen to any podcast. Let the user decide to remove or hide this. START LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. WE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING FOR YEARS NOW!

80 pages of complaints about the same thing.    7500+ votes to date.  SPOTIFY DOESN'T **bleep** ABOUT THE PAYING CUSTOMERS. 

 

Move to another platform.

I have the same issue where I have an unwanted explicit recommendation in my "Good Morning" feed.  There should be a method to remove this from my feed or turn off the "Good Morning" feed all together. This is not wanted and Ihave contemplated deleting my account over this issue.  Please Spotify, have an update that allows users a little customization abilities like other platforms.

OUTRAGEOUS this is "not something  you plan to implement right now"   I opened my spotify at home and the main window popped up that says "Good Afternoon" and a grid of random playlists and podcast/songs were prominently in view. Days before, I had deleted three from recently played but one was still there (why?) and was showing in the middle of my screen, I did not know when someone came up behind me and saw the big grid.  This was a podcast -private personal topic - not to be prominently displayed.

The thought of leaving Spotify is overwhelming as a premium member for over a decade I have thousands of playlists. Maybe that's why these changes are not a priority for Spotify, we are essentially captive if we want to keep years of carefully curated music.  It sickens me to feel so violated that I cannot have privacy on my home page.  If you cannot bring yourselves at least allow for some freaking DISCRETION.

Why showing me only **bleep** suggestions that I will never hear,  agree! be better to have a customizable start screen. BTW who the f* is Sh**t bunny

Schon etwas ernüchternd, dass diese Idee vom eigen gestalten nach 3 Jahren immer noch kein Stück voran geschritten ist. Dafür dass es eig. kein großer aufwand ist, ziemlich bitter.

Remove Podcast recommendations from the home screen already!

Please let me hide "top playlist" suggestion from the main page, because it suggests music that I never listen and totally do not want to see in my app and it is very frustrating and annoying.
