[Other] Recommending things I have never clicked on and are completely irrelevant, for months. Why?

[aaronjoxley]

I have a row across the top of my Home page, "Can I get more thrills". The images and the titles indicate these are targeted to women and contain highly sexual content. I am not a woman and I am not interested in **bleep** podcasts. I've never clicked on anything or given any indication that I am interested in any content of this sort. Yet, for months now, this category has held the top spot in my home page. It is offensive. 

My best guess is these are paid placements. I hope they're generating lots of revenue because they're going to cause revenue loss as well: I'm not the only one who is bothered by this, and the music streaming market is highly competitive. I don't need to be bombarded with your irrelevant, offensive recommendations. It's only $13/month from me, but I hope enough people do the same that you will fix this for the remaining customers.

Hi @aaronjoxley,

Thank you for posting on the Community.

We've moved your post to this help board as it doesn't qualify as an idea. 

Sometimes you can see recommendations even if you don't regularly listen to that content. Even though it's not possible to manually remove them from your Home screen, they should disappear after some time. In the meantime, keep listening to your favorite artists and playlists to keep receiving recommendations that better adapt to your taste and listening habits.

You can also leave a +Vote on this idea that asks for the possibility to customize the Home Screen.

Let us know if you have any questions.

GARBAGE response. These things have been on my home page for months. 

I'm going to look into ways I can report Spotify for promoting inappropriate, offensive material that I am not interested in. I feel attacked, I am constantly being forced to look at these sexual titles that I find distasteful and rude and your only suggestion is to wait it out. I will wait it out long enough to find out all the ways I can report you and let people know how disgustingly inconsiderate your suggestions are, and the response to a complaint regarding those suggestions. Gross. 

Yours Truly, 

AO
