[All Platforms] Customize Start Screen

[user-removed]

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!

Hello! There is currently lots of sexual contents in "Episodes for you" for me and there is no way to remove them! I'd like a dislike feature or remove feature for these recommendations! Thanks!

This now has over 4000 votes - when will Spotify listen to their paying customers rather than push monetized podcasts at us?

You can barely customize the Home screen in the app. I do listen to some podcasts, but now you're just shoving them in my face every time I open the app. Let us customize the menus we see first instead of telling us we should be listening to podcasts all the time.

And now they create a daily mix with podcasts in it. Every time I'm trying Spotify, it's worse.

Years later and I'm still looking for a way to hide podcast suggestions. Even within "Your Library" there is a shortcut to filter playlists by podcasts and shows but not a way to quickly filter and only see playlists that I have created.

I'm using Spotify for more than 6 years now. And it is sad to see that what was used to be a good app is getting worse. It pushes me increasingly more garbage, like podcasts, radio, or other stuff that I'm completely not interested in. Just not sure when the last drop will fall and I switch to something else and cancel this subscription (anyhow I have Amazon and Google services that provide streaming music too).

I just found the perfect app for me: Has the music I like, doesn't add random stuff to playlists, allows me to sort the music without fighting with the frontend, works offline, has no ads and HAS NO PODCASTS OR OTHER ***.

A downside, you need to have the music stored locally. But I already have it anyway.

Yeah, I dug up Winamp. It's working. I love it.

I would like to remove soft "pawnography" from my homepage, my little brother uses my phone and sees recommended podcasts, that I have never listened to on my homepage. This is unacceptable and I will take legal action about this if it does not get solved. Even a "not interested" button on podcasts could help. Do something or there will be legal consequences for recommending "pawnography" to literal children.

That BUSY home page on the other 2 big music apps is what drove me to Spotify, and I am verty happy here.  But it drives me away when there is so much that I will listen to., and they suggest stuff I will never ever listen to.   As it stands, I immediately go to my Library to avoid the Home page.  I spend less than a several second there, just checking it out.  And then I head over to my Library to avoid it.  Spotify must know their search works really well and I could search for all sorts of music and podcasts, if I wanted.   But I know what I want, and I choose what I want to see/listen to.  If I wanted confusion I would go to the other places.

Its actually crazy how long this has been ignored (obviously because its on forums and not socials like twitter) but ill be canceling and moving to apple now which I thought was subpar a few years ago because of tailored playlisting. Spotify has definitely declined in the past 2 years and it would be ignorant on your part to ignore small issues like these, do not forget people pay to use this app, its not cool to see you tell your customers your not going to do what they want you to do(even though their paying for it)
