[All Platforms] Customize Start Screen

Status: Not Right Now

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.

This idea is being ignored because controlling the home screen is in Spotify's interest more than the customer.

I agree 100 percent! but their interest should be for us, the clients, to have a home screen that we want to use, not something that we avoid as fast as possible. All these suggestions will help them on getting more information from us; and us listening to more of the stuff they wat to listen. We just want a simple way of removing the recommendations we do not want.

If anything, the home screen has only gotten worse. It's a pain. I bet they are paid for what they put on there, clearly it doesn't serve us clients at all.

I believe we pay a “premium” price for commercial free use of Spotify.
The suggestions and shortcuts amount to commercials being forced upon us. We aren’t getting the “commercial free” we have been promised.

I too would love to remove Spotify's propaganda from my home screen

Got some **bleep** permanently pinned to my home screen.  Can't remove it.  Hate it.  Hate Spotify.

Of course every music track you play loses them money. So every time they
can distract you from music and get you to listen to a podcast is a win for
them.

I resent being force fed political podcasts that I would never want to listen to.  Freedom of speech. YES.   Freedom of choice.  YES.  No thank you to other "Higher Ground Productions". Offered.  Refused.  Now leave me alone.

I can't believe this still is not an option. I don't pay for this service to see what others want me to see. I pay, so that I can only see and hear what I want. As others have said, music is part of my escape and being constantly fed wokeness is getting old.

Thanks for backing me. I was proactively regretting my post, anticipating the woke mob. I was once a huge Springsteen fan. I don’t need the constant reminder of how he betrayed me and half his fans. You’re right. Music should be a respite.
