I am sorry to hear that the process wasn’t as expected @bdsl 
In order to get better recommendations we ask you to add at least 3 favourite artists. Then you can start your listening experience with Deezer.
You can always remove those 3 artists from favourites after.
I understand that would be better for you or other users to be able to skip this initial process. I’ll pass your feedback to the appropriate team.
Apologies for the inconvenience and I hope you are enjoying Deezer now and our improved catalog with more than 90 Million songs.

Its hard to enjoy a song when you get stopped from accessing the music to begin with..... 😕

Insanity. I am not adding 15! artists just to remove them later. What design is that? What about to sign up for a few months but not thanks.

It is even „better“ - I just want to resign my account, because I will not feed these trolls.

Without selecting what ever, it is not possible to enter the account settings for resign.

Hey ​@hpk 

What’s the reason you don’t fancy this artist selection? 👀

It helps the app to know your music taste better 😎

My intention is not to have an app, which made some proposals for me - I just want to listen what I have currently in my mind to listen to. 
It is like commercials- that interruptions in films - I do not like that and I pay for that to get rid of that.

I pay for Deezer - so I will not have that and would just switch that off if I would have a chance - it will just disturbs my - and I have no time for that.

 

Currently and additionally that “app behavior” protects to resign my contract (see my last comment before this one)  - so that is not a way I would play with my customers. I would try my best to please them.
 

Here at Deezer all smells I am trapped and fooled.

This desperately needs a skip button. Get your algo to learn from what people play, not by forcing them to choose. What if they don’t want to think about it right then, or aren’t in a music listening mood right then? Maybe they’re in a hurry. The UX is too single-minded here.


I just signed up and I couldn’t even log out without doing this. couldn’t access any account page or anything. if I didn’t know how to use devtools to delete all of it I wouldn’t have been able to cancel my trial. completely unacceptable


was ready to switch from spotify too but not after these hostile anti-cancellation tactics

I’m struggling to get past this page without choosing, and now it’s playing “music” that I can’t stop!

For anyone with a bit of html/css knowledge and running Deezer in browser, set the class .chakra-modal__content-container and .chakra-modal__overlay to display:none

Or remove the elements entirely.

This won't help regular people and won't help with the mobile app, so I guess after the free month, I'm gone, too.
