[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’d like to see my playlists in the same order instead of playing whack a mole for tue one I’d like to listen to because it jumps to a different place every time I open the app.

Id also like to have new releases right below my playlists, but instead I have to hunt for it because it also moves to a different location every time I open the app.

These two things are incredibly frustrating for me as I use music to focus, keep my motivation going, etc. and I get thrown out of my groove when the start screen scrambles everything every single time I need to put on some music.

Please, please, please make it an option to block artists, podcasts, and other media. I clicked on one podcast and now it's shoving it down my throat. There is no option to report or block like the other questions show.

Hey Spotify, why don't you just be honest about why you're showing me music that I'm not interested in. You've obviously getting kickbacks from the big music companies, otherwise you would FIX THIS ISSUE. It's been like this for years. I'm sick of seeing "New Music Friday" and I don't like "artists" like Lady Gaga, JENNIE, Doechii, SASAMI and more with their bad hats, sunglasses and attitudes. I've never listened to Hardstyle Adrenaline, New Grass, Musica Mexicana, Hindi, or Metal, so why are they recommended? You're obviously getting paid to force this on me. I thought that if I paid a monthly membership, I wouldn't see advertisements. Don't try to gaslight me because that is exactly what they are. Artists and big music companies get paid based on how many people listen to them, and displaying them on the homepage (which I can't change to default to my library) is basically an advertisement to get people to listen. I'm now looking for another music service. You've been warned.

I want to delete podcasts that I don’t want people seeing on my home page

The home page is so bad now that it is finally worthless to me. It provides me nothing other that dumb playlists and content i dont want, will never want, and cant dismiss. 

Sure i still have my library but there is no longer any organic discovery of music... I gave to dig to find a list of new albums and its still a curated list not even always showing new albums by artist i follow. 

This terrible app experience, along with no lossless option, and your terrible payments to artists is finally enough. After 10 years, i think our time has come to an end. 

I stubbornly waited for spotify to right its course with the apps interface. For years now, everywhere its brought up online people are frustrated with terrible design decisions after terible design decision. Excellent points are made about reduced functionality along with great suggestions for a home page that would work for a much wider audience, but each new update seems to make the situation worse.

So much more to say but its not worth my time at this point. Just felt i should share my 2 cents after 10 years

Is it possible to decide at once whether you use big cards or tiny squares?

The desktop and android apps are very unusable now when you mix them. Either there is 10 first rows in square, and 10 more as cards, or sometimes these are mixed randomly. I don't like it. Either use all cards or all tiles. As I paid customer this needs a fix.

Another feedback goes to daily lists. I like them in general, but most of the tracks here are already liked, playlisted or heard. Isn't it possible to add unheard tracks to user taste instead? If I want to listen tracks I already know, there is my lists and my liked songs to play. Discovering music is not made very easy now.

cmon spotify, i stopped listening to bill burr because he has slowly turned in to a conspiracy theorist.

so i get the shits when spotify starts playing his latest podcast automatically.

how do i remove it from popping into my feed?

[Muzzwood]

It's ridiculous that on a paid plan I have to put up with "recommendations" (i.e. ads) on the home page that I'm not at all interested in, and often not even in the language I speak.

Let us customise our home page (at least on desktop!)

[Skerik]

Very good idea. For me, 90% of Spotify suggestions are irrelevant. I think the algorithm is totally broken. And since a few times, I have suggestions for videos from stupid youtubers I don't care about.

[dailystoic1234]

I don't care about stupid diary of ceo and modern bro wisdom bro science podcasts. Every time I log onto spotify, my musical sanctuary from the outside world, this **bleep** is always pushed onto me and it's very irritating. I can't turn it off, so just have to get on with it. 

I saw there's a potential plan to introduce a feature where you control your Spotify home screen. What's the status of this now? It would be great to have the ability to turn some of the **bleep** that's recommended off.

I'd be grateful for any help!
