Hey @Johny.Su

Thanks for your feedback, I've moved it here, so that you can vote for the idea. If you don't use VPNs, you'd only get recommendations from the country of subscription purchase.

Hi @Noora thank you for contacting us regarding this matter. 

Please bear in mind that the recommendations on the Deezer start page are not tailored to your taste of music. Only the sections “Made for you” and “Recommended releases” are tailored to your taste. Everything else is popular music of the country you are at. In case you do not like these please use other ways to discover new music, i.e. Flow, Discovery playlist, artist mix of your favourite artists, track mix of your favourite tracks etc. :wink:

It won’t be possible to have no recommendations of any location on the Deezer start page but our product managers are working hard on a project which will enable to change location to a Deezer country of your choice :slight_smile: Just patience is needed until this is realised. 

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Hi there @CodeFips 

Thank you for reporting this to us. I'll be forwarding your comments to our Recommendations Team. In the meantime, please check this topic here for some tips on Flow, for example :wink:

This! The reason I don't bother at all with these online entertainment services is that they push so much shite generated by some loosely averaged profiling and as it was pointed out, you need to be more active using the service to fight back that flow of dumb in order to keep your recommendations to your tastes, something that's actually very integral part of their business models, to trick the users to come back over and over again by gaming their heads with something users are urged to block. So sickening business and not at all in any good way. #deleteinternet

I am new user of Deezer, and this is the only annoying feature that bothers me a lot!

I am getting recommended lists only from my country.

For example, I want to see the most popular list (by number of fans) - worldwide.

 

The only reason I am using Deezer is FLAC.

I do not want to listen location based music!  I click hundreds of local artists to “do not recommend list”  and still your alco do not get the hint. I do not want to change to other location, because I have no idea which location has same music taste that I have. FLAC and yearly plan would have been reason to be here, but your recommendations are useless and the other has now good recommendations .

 

You can do that with our country selector!

The option to change location to another deezer country is a MUST. Do you have any ETA? I keep getting suggestions from nearby countries on different languages which I don’t even know. And I don’t like local music at all. I prefer all English playlists/songs and I know i’m not the only one.

Though I live in Germany, I couldn’t care less about German rap (and about rap at all). It would have been really helpful to disable recommendations of genres that user doesn’t like.

Even if you show me 100500 times a recommendation with German rap or Schlager I won’t click on it anyways, so you’re just wasting your resources. From the business perspective it would have been much more reasonable to present the customer recommendations that would be interesting to him on which he will actually click.
