My Question or Issue

I used to be able to scroll through my home feed and see different playlists recommended to me based on my listening habits. Some of them were playlists specifically tailored for me, and some of them were playlists that Spotify thought I might enjoy based on my listening habits.

However, this has been replaced with an endless stream of podcast episodes that have nothing to do with my listening habits. And they snap from one to the other rather than scrolling smoothly like it used to. And each episode is giant taking up the whole screen. And they're all sorts of topics that I have no interest in that doesn't reflect my listening habits at all. I have no interest in Navy SEAL podcasts. I have no interest in Christian inspirational podcasts. Why would Spotify think I like those things? If Spotify paid attention to the podcast I actually do listen to on the rare occasion that I listen to a podcast, they would know that Navy seals and Christian inspiration are about as far from my interest as you can get. I don't understand why Spotify would replace a beloved feature with something like this.

This isn't the app that I paid for.  This isn't the app that I'm paying for. I don't want this. If there really is no way to get the home feed back to normal, or at least get it to show tailored playlists instead of random uninteresting navy seal podcasts, I'm genuinely going to cancel my subscription today. And then if you guys return the home feed to normal, please make a big deal about it so that I'll hear about it, and know that it's time to come back and start paying you money again. I really really like Spotify a lot, and I'm really going to be extremely sad if I have to cancel my subscription today.

Can I get some help from a Spotify Advisor please?

Hi there @Silphradio,

Thanks for reaching out. From what you've described, it sound like you've tapped on the "Podcasts and Shows" tab at the very top of the mobile app. This will present you with a list of podcasts, both ones you follow and recommendations, in a full screen style. See if this is the case and if it is, you can return to the default Home Screen from the very top as well. 

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

Nope, I didn't click on the "Podcasts & Shows" button.  I just went to the Home Feed.  Podcasts & Shows is not selected.  You guys changed the home feed, lol, don't pretend you didn't.
