Hello Deezer Community,

I am a long-standing user and paying subscriber of Deezer who greatly enjoys the service, but recently some concerns have arose that I would like to share with you all.

Like many of you, I value the outstanding level of customization, personalization and control one has over their listening experience in Deezer. Unfortunately, I have encountered an issue that goes against this principle that we so value.

Recently, a category themed 'Pride' was added to my homepage and, I presume, the homepage of all users across the platform. Now, please understand that it is not the category itself that I take issue with, rather it's the manner in which it was implemented.

Regardless of the category or its content, I believe that as users—and particularly as paying subscribers—we should have the control to manage the presence and placement of categories on our own homepage to suit our preferences.

With the recent addition of 'Pride', there has been an omission of choice. It has been added to our homepages prominently without prior consultation or an option to reorder or remove it. Once again, it is not the theme of the category that is problematic, but the principle of user choice and control being compromised.

In conclusion, I suggest the implementation of more user-customization options for 'mood' categories, where the user can reorder or even hide categories that they may not wish to see. This is, in my opinion, a way to enhance Deezer's commitment to personalized experiences for each user.

If you agree with the subject, support this idea by voting, as the more feedback we gather, the more likely it is to be considered by the developers.

Thank you for reading this long post and for participating in the betterment of our shared Deezer experience.

Best regards, 

Bas
