[All Platforms] Customize Start Screen

[DK411]

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!

This is ridiculous isn't it possible to hack this sh*t? How come they don't care about this? Let's take this issue other places...  Well I guess Deezer has this option, i am considering...

How can they not do this?

It's the simplest thing that will make the experience better for literally thousands of people.

Spotify's customer service has always been terrible and the lack of a solution for this is no surprise, albeit still extremely annoying.

Let's be honest Spotify...this new (old) view is totally stupid!

Why not just the normal view, only WITHOUT the podcasts?

...and delete things I have no interest in...forever, not just 90 days!

Yes, it is wildly annoying to get shows recommended under the header "my shows" right at the top of my home page when I don't even remember listening to it. Promoting podcasts by bothering people into accidentally clicking on them is definitely not the way. This makes me want to avoid podcasts because I don't want more of them to randomly show up at my home page every day. I might listen to podcasts if I didn't have to fear harassment by the algorithm.

If the unsolicited and non-family safe (on a family plan) junk keeps getting displayed on the home page I'll be setting my premium payments to 'Not Right Now'. 

Which executive made the deal so they could get a new Porsche this month?

@makreljohnson,

Don't bother threatening them, they don't care because advertisors are paying them big bucks to put them on our screens. The best thing to do is go a head and drop them.

I dropped mine several months ago and I don't even bother listening to Spotify anymore. I've actually deleted the app.  I only have it set to notify me about replies here, so I can see if they ever do actually change it.

Maybe when everyone drops them and the advertisers are all that's left, and the advertisers aren't making any money and pull their advertisments, Spotify will get the hint and start listening to us.

Good luck.

Mathis...

I hate having the "Your Shows" section on my homepage. They arent my shows at all and its just annoying. Spotify is all about customizing the listening experience around your preferences -- why are you pushing this Podcast content so hard down our throats? Its doesn't make sense to me. Please let us remove it.

I would like to be able to customize start screen, pick favorite categories, or even just give feedback like "show more of this/show less" type of feedback. For example: I absolutely love the "trending albums for you" list and I've found some great new albums and artists through it; but it's only on my home page so often and it gets annoying just randomly scrolling trying to find it and it's not there.

Please do anything but force me into using these awful giant tiles.
