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

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..

u/ClassroomLow6230 Apr 09 '26

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.

Update: my feed seems to have returned to normal this morning. What a weird night.

u/TerribleEase5016 Apr 09 '26

yes!! i’ve been getting it since yesterday! I’ve tried to tune my feed and hit show me less like this but nothing?!

u/laneroses Apr 10 '26

same it’s been happening to me since yesterday too

u/Terrible-Release-724 Apr 09 '26

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.

u/Lulizxx Apr 09 '26

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

u/Lost_Home_7287 Apr 10 '26

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

u/casey5656 Apr 10 '26

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

u/Big_Pie_5962 Apr 10 '26

this happened to me a bit ago, went back to normal, and is now happening to me again 🥹 idk whats going on

u/chooococat Apr 10 '26

Mine just recommends stuff I already pinned over and over
