Allow Subscribers to Opt out of Political Podcasts or Particular Podcasts

[Forrest735]

I love Spotify music.  I open Spotify to relax and enjoy music.  For months now, however, whenever I open Spotify I see the face of a political journalist who I find aggravating. This occurs because Spotify keeps putting his podcast and picture at the top of my screen under the caption "Your Shows."   It is unpleasant day, after day, week after week, month after month for Spotify to prominently announce that this podcast is one of my shows.  Worse, it features the show and another picture of the host in another prominent part of the webpage under the caption  "Shows popular with listeners of Mr. xxx's shows." 

I have never followed the show.  Because I was hoping to get rid of the show, I opened it and gave it the lowest rating. I recommend (1) don't recommend programs that a subscriber has given the lowest rating to; (2) allow subscribers to opt out of recommendations the subscriber finds offensive, either by individual program or by categories of program, for example "all podcasts" or "all political podcasts"; (3) put podcasts at the very bottom of the page.

I am a loyal but very unhappy subscriber.
