[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.

I follow many artists on Spotify and would love to see their new releases (Single/Album/Feature) pop up on my home feed under a "Your Following" or "Followed Artists" tab instead of the same old Spotify created Daily Mixes playlists. 

 

The "following" feature just seems very useless because I have no found any change before and after following an artist, all it does is give email notifications. I do not see any updates within my home feed at all.

Currently the first three rows on my homepage are podcasts and audiobooks. I have never listened to, nor am interested in, either. What is the point of pushing them at me?

 

Similarly, why not improve music recommendations by letting us do the hard work for you. We can filter out genres and artists we don't like much more easily than you can and it will make your AI algorithms work better for everyone else.

Adjust, disable and resort the start page. For example: disable podcasts and put your daily listening list about your weekly and so on.

I love that the home dashboard has "made for you", "uniquely yours" "recently played" etc, but I wish there were an option to order or toggle on/off these items. 

 

I don't need multiple audiobook suggestions when I don't use Spotify for audiobooks and podcasts as much as I do for music and I'd like to see my playlists at the top of the home screen rather than at the bottom.

I listened to a podcast, I didn't like it, I didn't follow it, I didn't complete an episode, and now its just sitting on my recommended and I want it gone

Please implement this feature.
For example, I just wanted to listen to an erotic audio story for adults in podcast form. I only listened for a few seconds and now the picture appears in large print in the "listen to your old favourites" section.
I didn't even add it to my favourites or my library! Besides, I don't really want my wife or children to find out about it, especially as I use carplay in my car, which scares me even more...

That I'm getting content in languages I'm not interested in and I can't even block or filter it out is trash; I'm paying for this service and I have zero interest in **bleep** like Joe Rogan yet I get it on my home screen despite only listening to french or Swedish content

 

Do better

Please do something, I'm fed up with being a victim of the agorhythm and seeing things I don't want to see on my home page. I'd like to be able to personalize this part and in particular to be able to hide 1 playlist that I've only listened to once and that doesn't interest me! Paid subscription should be able to allow this customization, I really don't understand.

Gosh. When will they finally stop being such profit-driven capitalist? Didn't the company have more growth, when people felt like there were really tailored recommendations, whereas now it's just "popular this" and "popular that". If I want that, I can listen to any old radio station.

Whenever I sign on my Mac Desktop app -- all I see are podcasts -- I am not interested at all in podcasts - I want to see music options -- same thing on my Tesla screen -- Stop pushing podcasts
