[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.

Just adding more of the same, hopefully one day Spotify will care, but I think I'll have left before then.

 

* Being forced to see Joe F'ing Rogan's show makes me feel awful every time I open the app

* Playing only liked songs is very difficult now

* Let me customize my home page

* Let me go directly to my artists list, don't bury it

* Recommendations are awful

 

I pay for this, and have for years, but I'm *so* close to done.  Trying apple music now, actually.  All this money and I just feel frustrated with it whenever I open Spotify, maybe its time to be annoyed at a different company 😄  There *must* be some reason these changes are going on, because its certainly not because users like them.  Things just keep getting worse.

Nooooooo,

 

I wánt Spotify to force podcast recommendations onto me!

 

I want nothing else but **bleep** TOWN recommended to me all day!

 

THANK YOU SPOTIFY FOR RECOMMENDING **bleep** TOWN ALL MONTH
WITHOUT SPOTIFY I NEVER WOULD HAVE FOUND **bleep** TOWN

 

SPOTIFY AND CUMTOWN SHOULD BE LINKED FOREVER FOR SEARCH ENGINES

THEY ARE SUCH GOOD FRENDS

 

Let us bury **bleep** Town and Spotify in the same grave, of shite, where they belong

This would be super fricken easy to do. My son kept on listening to Horrid Henry and that sh!t is super unhelpful for getting him to follow instructions. 

I blocked the artist and every song in the playlist and still see it pop up in the"good morning/evening" thing, causing him to try and put it on. Just let me remove it. Put some doors there, remove item. Easy.

Never heard of Horrid Henry - it’s ironic how your suggestion here, turned me onto a new band I like hahaha I can see how it would be a negative influence towards a kid in school lol thanks!

Oh great, the Obamas are back and I can't get rid of them... "Higher Ground" - ya, right...

PLEASE allow us paying customers to remove JUNK we don't want to see!

You need to get Joe Rogan off my home screen. We do have other choices for streaming. It's worth it to move rather than have him forced on me.

Here we are 3 years later and this is still marked as "Not Right Now" with 2665 upvotes and 32 pages of mostly supportive comments.  

 

Change that status to being "Available In The Next Update" and there will be some long-overdue progress.

The company literally doesn't care. Most of this "community" is performative. They don't actually listen to us.

welcome to ‘the**bleep**’ my friend…

At least give us the option to "X" out a category or recommendations. I don't use Spotify for podcasts and it keeps recommending the same irrelevant podcast to me over and over.
