let users remove audiobooks and podcast categories from homepage

[smaugly]

I have never, and will never, listen to a podcast or audiobook. I am not a podcast or audiobook person. I have never and I will never click on anything in these categories, but they take up a huge part of my homescreen, and for whatever reason, audiobooks are at the very top of my homepage. I just don't want to see it. If you're paying premium, you should be able to customize what you see on that homescreen. I should be able to right click the category and remove it entirely. Not individual audiobooks or podcast episodes, but the entire category. Spotify could pay me, and I still wouldn't want to listen to an audiobook. 

If you absolutely must to advertise to me, why not advertise something effective on my homescreen? You know what I spend money on: exclusive vinyl or merch from the bands I listen to the most. I'd still rather be able to have what I want on my homescreen, but if it's a nonstarter to have total user control, advertise something I actually want to see, that I've spent money on before through the emails Spotify sends when artists have unique vinyl available. I've bought those items multiple times, and yet you're trying to get me to listen to such "gems" as A Good Girl: A Rockstar Romance and Stranded with the Seal ....? 🤢

Please give users the option to remove these categories from their homescreen. I have attached the screenshot of the annoying erotica covers of the audiobooks I am forced to look at every single day when I start up Spotify so you can see how obnoxious they are.

I am using another application for my podcasts and audiobooks, and I don't want to use Spotify for this.

Please, let me focus on music, and stop sending messages about "the podcast I may like" or "the audiobooks for you".

Please, please, please, keep in mind some users are happy with their podcasts and audiobooks applications, and don't want to have advertisements for this on their Spotify screen.
