Stop suggesting podcasts made by random children

[DylanMW]

Stop suggesting podcasts made by children through "Created on Spotify". Not only do I not want to listen to these, but you also shouldn't be promoting access to children's accounts.

This is not normal to encourage strangers to hear the thoughts of children who are also uploading photos of themselves. This sort of access to children should not be normalised. I highly recommend Spotify immediately change whatever backward algorithm you are using to suggest these to listeners. 

I was told by a Spotify employee that this was suggested on my home page because of the podcasts I listen to. The podcasts I listen to are psychology, neurobiology, and geopolitically based with discussions by experts. If Spotify thinks that this means I want to listen to random children talk then you are wildly mistaken. I'm here for the tunes and intellectual conversations. Don't pervert your own product.

You are a few moves away from making Spotify a platform for grooming. Sort it out.

I have a similar issue and Spotify refuses to let customers block unwanted podcast suggestions.  They rather just force us to see thier suggestions of Podcasters promoting hate and violence.
