[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 intentional and malicious at this point - Spotify: you have no excuses for behaving this way. You have (had?) many loyal customers who believed in you and the product you created. Here we are half a decade after this was first raised and still you continue sticking your head in the sand. Not being able to curate content from my home page, or edit podcasts from a section titled "Your Shows" is beyond simply poor design. I find myself not wanting to click on any new content or discover anything new at all because I don't want it to appear on my home page or some recommendation section later on. The aspect of this I think you're not understanding is that many of us use Spotify in social contexts where it can be profoundly damaging to have certain types of content appear which we may or may not have listened to or been interested in at all. We become instantly guilty by association and this can lead to very real consequences. Not having the ability to simply remove an offensive podcast from "your shows" is incredibly shortsighted. At the very least rename the section to something that doesn't imply ownership or direct, continued interest in the content contained within.

If I’m not following a Podcast, why show it for MONTHS after I listened to 6 seconds of it?!? Do better, Spotify.

spotify doesn't care about the users requests. horrible customer service. basically tell you to just deal with the playlists you don't want to see because they can't delete anything on their end. But they're able to force playlists on me without my approval? Something doesn't seem right. Why force me to follow a playlist Spotify created, only to decide they don't want to update it anymore. After 3 years it is still showing in the "uniquely yours" section. Spotify support seems to think that if you listen to other playlists they'll replace the ones in "uniquely yours". Just goes to show how clueless support is

Get this disgusting stupid CWC image off my **bleep** playlist already, I'm SICK of seeing it. Music should be an aesthetical and cool thing, not putrid and front paging a rapist.

F^$# this sh$t. I hate NPR with a passion but you're telling me it just showed up on my "Your Shows" without me ever listening to it and there's absolutely nothing I can do to remove it from the Home page that I see every single time I get in my car? You suck so hard.

This is horrible! I have a pic of a murder of babies every time I open Spotify!

Seriously, Spotify, I need this gone

Spotify gives an update 5 years later that they still do not care about what you want on your home page. But you can remove items in sub pages? - WHAT?! Just let us remove playlists and albums from our home page. I have a playlist that has been stuck front and center for like 2 years. It's super lame! I do not want it there anymore. I've listened to so many other playlists since, and it's still there.

How do I get rid of the "new releases" banner? It is never relevant and now there is a huge **bleep** on my screen for a TI release, I would never listen to him.

please help me, I have a phobia for dolls and recently because of Halloween, there are profiles showing doll figures and it seriously scares me, and want to throw up. it troubles me to sleep just because of the image I saw when I opened the app. I really want to hide at least that specific podcast but I've searched and failed to do so. I don't know if any of you understand the seriousness of my situation but I want to give it a shot and send here my concern. thanks

My student years are coming to an end... I think I am going to pay for another service. There are plenty of them and they also have large catalogs.
