My Question or Issue

"Made for you" in spotify is laughable and annoying.

It is currently suggesting a "daily sports" podcast and has been for a while.

I have never watched a sports event in my life, I have never search, listened to anything about any sport in my life- ever.

Spotify seems to be keen on advertising a podcast to me I have no interest in and I cannot for the life of me find a way to either tell their questionable algo I'm not interested, or even hide the damn thing.

 

Can someone please help me fix this annoyance?

My Question or Issue

I was driving and I asked Siri to change the playlist on spotify to My Car Mix. Instead of that, Spotify created and played this horrible abomination of music it thinks I'd like and I am unable to remove it both from the desktop and the app. What can I do to remove it? There is no remove or delete possibility in the menu.

I 1000th this. Please, for the love of EVERYTHING decent, let us opt out of receiving suggested content, playlists, songs, artists... EVERY SUGGESTION.

I am quite capable of using the search function to find content I want.

I know Spotify must say to all the uploaders "we will push your content onto every subscriber to boost sales, volumes, stats, etc.", but next to zero options for subscribers to tailor their subscriptions to suit themselves.

I have several playlists that I use EXCLUSIVELY to play a specific tune for my Google routines. Until the introduction of AAI (artificial artificial intelligence) this worked most of the time, until suddenly so many playlists appear with a similar name to my playlist that it plays these instead.

The last two months or so, no matter what I change my playlist name to some **bleep** plays instead, even though I searched for the name prior to renaming my playlist which turned up zero content.

My options to stop this is limited, it seems, with everything skewed to "add to your library", "start a jam", "Download"... add to this, add to that, etc. but the only option to never play this again is to report it or exlude from taste profile.

I am FOREVER exluding things from my taste profile.

Because I am paying for a service, I expect an option to opt out of everything and just play the content I want without fail.
