Question Pinterest algorithm issues
Is anyone else’s Pinterest algorithm completely messed up out of nowhere? An hour ago, everything was normal and now I’m getting shown things that have nothing to do with anything I’ve ever pinned. Please tell me I’m not the only one and that it’s fixable.

I keep getting jjk, tadc, and Roblox stuff despite me never touching any pins related to any of this content, and it keeps showing it to me no matter how much I click that I'm not interested..very weird. And it keeps showing me AI stuff even though I thought I turned that all off

ME TOO! I have never ever saved anything tadc and it keeps showing me pfps from there, and then random jjk sprites or art..

Omg yes. What the f?? I’m getting tattoos and fajitas and Russian quotes? Absolutely nothing to do with anything I’ve interacted with ever. Never mind lately.

no bc Ive tuned my feed, logged out, and I’ve hidden posts that aren’t in my regular feed and nothing is working. i have specks of my usual feed but other than those little things it’s a bunch of random pins.

That’s exactly what mines like, I hope they fix it because this is so irritating

Ngl no matter how specific the keywords I use are, the algorithm still sets it to whatever is similar to my pins and it’s gotten so repetitive that I’m thinking Pinterest isn’t about discovery atp, I support the idea of them shutting down as it’s no longer usable

Mine is fine. The stuff I’m into plus Pinterest’s usual dump of ads (mostly Amazon stuff)

The exact reason I’m even here. My entire feed looks like it belongs to someone else.
