[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!

Spotify is ignoring paying customers to support It's paid options for artists to force their way onto people's home pages. Double dipping at it's finest. Will be looking at competitors and recommend others do the same.

I'm currently testing Tidal for the music quality, but TIDAL's home screen isn't better. It's full of recommendations that have nothing to do with my music taste, and it's mostly rap music. I never listen to rap music (it's the music I dislike the most). I live in Germany, but neither do I listen to German music. What is the saddest is, that it is very forcefully recommends a German Rap playlist. Now that is that I would actually pay for so that I don't have to liste that. So looking back at Spotify, maybe it's not that bad at all 🙂 I'm kidding, Spotify is also bad. I want full control over my home screen. Let me even pin albums there.

The inability to customize the home screen, especially the list of playlists on the top of the app, is incredibly annoying.  Why can we not have a simple option to remove a playlist from that list?

Yes such a great idea!!!

It's needed for podcast you no longer wanna see on the episode for you part and we could leave a creative and personnal home screen with add of colors other than black

I basically don't listen to podcasts and I've clicked "not interested" several times on quite a few podcasts, but I keep getting these exact ones suggested on my home page...Spotify, what's going wrong with you guys?

Actually, I don't care by now, since I already cancelled my Premium account and opted for Apple Music. But also the "Discover Weekly" playlist, which I still used from time to time, has also become worse and worse.

So today I finally decided to delete Spotify completely from my phone.

I understand that music is expensive and that the subscription model can't cover all expenses so you have to force feed us what your advertisers want us to see. How much would it cost to have the freedom to say we don't like something and therefore do not want to see it in our paid subscription or hear it in our autoplay? How much does that freedom cost? 

[MrBue]

One € or $ more. With the other providers like Apple Music, Deezer, etc.

This would be great.  I have seen "All about Kendrick" for months and wish I could make it go away 😞

For who knows how long there is this random podcast that I have never listened to (I don’t listen to podcasts) that is just staying there and has not gone away from my shortcuts on the front page of Spotify forever. I constantly listen to tonnes of my playlists and somehow one of these spots on shortcuts which is meant for consistently listened to content is taken up by a part of the app I don’t use. I also have random problems with it as sometimes playlists I barely listen to stay there for extended periods of time. There needs to be an option on the three dots of content to select it to not be able to appear in shortcuts, or make shortcuts update more regularly, or both. Thank you

Theres an entire chunk of my home screen taken over by childrens content. I am a deliberately childfree 24 year old that finds childrens content insanely agitating and grating. And its not my top suggestion. I have never listened to podcasts OR childrens content, so WHY is it at the top of my home page? I dont want it. Its annoying. Its agitating. Nothing like it is in my history so why the **bleep** is it taking priority on my screen over my ACTUAL LIKED SONGS.
