The amount of ad clutter in the main menu is a huge turnoff for me, how about for you?

I have recently picked up an Xbox One X for cheap because I wanted to move away from PC gaming to more casual console experiences. I really loved the controller design, GamePass and the large selection of classic games from backwards compatibility.

However I find the menu to be a really negative experience. Aside from the top bar showing recent games played and nice art work, everything below is stuff I don’t want to see. I’d rather customize the rows to show games I own or the community features I want to see, but instead it’s bloated with a bunch of gamepass recommendations and store recommendations that can’t be toggled. This cheapens the overall experience, and I end up feeling like I’m using an advertisement laden service rather than fully owning my console and media.

I’d love to see store recommendations and gamepass recommendations in their own respective tabs. However it just feels too intrusive when put on the main menu with no way to remove. Also non gaming media should seriously have their own tab.
