[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!

Why can't I remove this phat ass album cover from my home screen? 

Why the **bleep**? Why the absolute and utter **bleep**?

just another example of Spotify not caring about its users at all.

I listen to plenty of podcasts, but Russell Brand is annoying af. I listened to him once and now he is the default recommendation when I have many more that I DO actually listen to to recommend. I feel like I'm being punished for exploring on your platform. It's disappointing.

two things that turn me off.  AI dj interrupts music too often with nonsense that adds no value to an audiophile.  the home page is cluttered with recommendations that don’t seem personalized and spotify should allow for modifying content blocks with fewer algorithmic recommendations and promotions.

TWO YEARS LATER.... no change, no way to hide offensive podcasts. This is absurd. Thanks for nothing.

I have the same problem. A male aquaintance told me he enjoyed the wonderfully titled podcast '**bleep** Town' and I listened to about 6min of the intro before happily realizing, not for me. Fast forward 5 months later and there's still in lovingly gooey white lettering '**bleep**' on every screen I use Spotify for. Classy. I would love an option to hide this podcast, or mark as 'not interested'.

I mean, **bleep** on, don't make me start #cumonspotify a thing.

I was trying out art history podcasts and now I get podcasts by actual irl cult leaders recommended to me and cannot remove them from my feed or screen. These are genuinely dangerous people associated with causing followers to commit s*icide and you're telling me there's no way to simply block or remove a podcast? This is a liability issue at this point. What on earth is wrong with the people running this app?

I would love the ability to simply remove a playlist from the top of the welcome/home screen!

I tried a podcast and didn't like it. It now shows continually on my home screen. And when I get to the end of an episode of a podcast I do like, it auto plays this series that I want to remove. How do I get rid of them?!

I just want to listen to music without seeing free thinker nonsense on my screen every morning but I guess Spotify cares more about money than not radicalizing impressionable suburban kids into **bleep** with reactionary podcast recommendations. Not renewing
