[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!

I Dont Listen To Podcasts

I Have Never Listened To Podcasts

I Will Never Listen To Podcasts
So please, just stop shoving podcasts at paying users

Ive done the voting game yet again, and came back and seen same generic non-responses from spotify, yet again

This is such a rudimentary feature to fix via a simple "remove" icons or setting toggles that its just ridiculous that years later and still nothing happening to this or any linked issue or ideas

Ideally I just need "recently played" or shows that I have actually hit "follow" with the ability for me to remove it.

While you're there, please don't forget about Apply Careplay .. super annoying right now with very limited ability to find the shows you are actually listening to.

a "HOME" is where you are meant to feel safe but when i am greeted with **bleep** like this (see pic) i get on edge, it feels like high school all over again and being forced to do sports i had 0 interest in.
1: i know what songs i listen to, you don't need to follow facebook and their stupid memories thing

2: i have 0 interest in podcasts and people telling jokes (i have pages i follow that put out the humor i like 200 times a day), if i wanted to listen to people talking i would go watch Parliament time (that is atleast semi-interesting!)
3: i got your app and paid for subscription so i could just have music when i wanted it

another option, allow us to choose what page to land on, imo i would choose my Library (the only place i really liked at high school because it wasn't full of people pressuring you to try things you didn't want to)

@Xantosh I know what you mean mate, that's awful. Someone needs to take Spotify to court over this, I'll join a class action.  It's even more crazy that they have nasty shows like **bleep** show and C U M town, yet they won't allow us to say **bleep****bleep** on here, because it's obviously wrong to FORCE people to see this kind of **bleep**.

Can some legal listener here start a class action suit against them, there's enough evidence of the mental health issues they're causing, including things like displaying this **bleep** on peoples home page in front of their friends, kids, co-workers and making them look like that this is what they're interested in.

Come on, anyone know a good lawyer?  It's the only way they'll listen

This is a joke, still ongoing end of 2021

Do you, Spotify, realize that watching a thread grow this big is really really bad? I am so annoyed at getting podcasts shoved in my face on the daily with no way of removing it. I am actively looking to find other services, even more so after it's become clear you barely pay artists. Shame on you for not listening to your community while trying to push your own bile. Shame on you for paying your artists so terribly.

 I’m new to Spotify, my teenage son talked me into paying a premium for the family. So - I’d like to drive my car with the Spotify App on for music, however I don’t need the word **bleep** and Elite Escort displayed on the car screen. Seriously wth? My kids are in the car reading this too.  Get your act together. This is not only irritating but tells a lot about what you think about your paying customers. If it doesn’t change soon I’ll be  dropping your service.

I urge Spotify to make this change. There are "shows" on my Home that are absolutely not suitable for children and I cannot remove them. I can't even flush them out by playing other shows. 

Can't be that hard to fix this, now can it?

[user-removed]

They either have the worst slowest developers or terrible management that
don't give a damn about users and I suspect the problem is not the
developers.
