[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.

Literally don't wanna see it, add a "don't show" option or simply don't put it on the front of the feed, fkn g3nocide supporting bs

I think it would be nice I people could decide what they would like to see suggested on their home screen.  I do not like podcasts and I wish I could eliminate them from my home screen and have more music reflected and suggested.  I would like a modicum of control over what is on my home screen.

Get podcasts off my damn home screen. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEM!!

I don't want to see any automatic playlist nor any suggestion for new artists.

I want to see the lists that I use more often.

Remove noise.

Make the app useful again.

there should be more view settings to customize homescreen i don't want to see joe rogan recommended every time or other podcasts for that matter

Now they’re putting the Smart Shuffle first instead of it going to shuffle THEN smart shuffle. This has got to be on purpose. I wouldn’t doubt it. Why else would it be fine then not fine after so long of it being shuffle or off or now, shuffle then smart shuffle THEN off and now they just decided

okay yeah this’ll be funny

Smart Shuffle

Regular Shuffle

Off

with the added bonus of repeat STILL coming on.

Might as well add in all the AI and “smart” stuff in this as well.

So much. So unnecessary. 
The app was better back in 2016. Why has there been more than 20 steps back to the point it’s not even seeming to be about music anymore? Sadify.

My Question or Issue

There some podcasts I like & listen to a lot. Others that I listed to literally once, and do not have interest in after trying.

 

Both of these types show new episodes right on my home screen. As far as I can tell there is no way to remove the irrelevant podcasts from my home screen, which is kind of annoying because I have no interest in these and they just clutter the interface.

 

If anybody knows a way to remove these podcasts, I would love to know about it.

 

I'll add these show up under categories like "Your shows" & "Episodes for you".. which is just absurd, because one of these I have listed to literally once and never again since.

 

Cheers.

Unfortunately, if look over the comments, there are many who would like to
customize and remove things from their interface. It seems Spotify has no
interest in responding positively.

Have an option to remove suggestions that aren't relevant to you, and pick playlists/genres/podcasts etc that you want to see more suggestions of. Pin favourites to homescreen for easy access
