Can't really complain if they offer Spotify Family which gives you 6 separate premium accounts, I think it's only double the cost of a normal Spotify account.

So the solution is paying double so I can log out of my own account and into an account I created for my 2 year old so we can listen to a disney song? And when I want to listen to my own songs again then I have to log out of my kids account and back into my own?

Yes, if you want multiple accounts you pay for multiple accounts. It's a solved problem you just have to pay the $9 a month.

I have two children, myself. I just installed second account on an old phone which has no SIM card in it, it has all the kids playlists and I don't have to worry about them getting recommended any of my 90s thrash metal. :)

Always those complaining customers ...

(and I am back to caring for my own mp3 collection again and use spotify only for rare and new stuff)

That unfortunately doesn't solve it. There will always be moments where kids will want to ask for songs on your Spotify, like you're renting a car and have your phone hooked up.

Click on your account dropdown in the top header, choose Private Session. Now nothing you listen to will affect your recommendations.

Come on, guys, I'd expect better from HN than complaining about features which already exist.
