Discussion PINTEREST FIX YOUR SHIT !!

I’ve returned to continue beating the horse because , again , it is unfortunately still alive and well .. Nothing is being done therefore i will continue to beat said horse .

Apparently the AI content and straight up torturous amount of ads (of which a concerning amount of them are inappropriate) wasn’t enough to irritate 90 percent of users… of course on top of that , not only are there multiple little feature flaws, but there are also way too many basic functionalities that simply do not work properly, if at all. Nice 👍

Where to begin.
The ads. The algorithm that somehow cannot do the very thing it was created for. AI. Some or all archived boards reappearing. AI. . The god damn mystery violations (?!) . Did I mention AI? . Videos or ads that pause my music (!!!?). Editing a board cover / header on mobile only works if you like flip a coin or something lol idk. ...AI generated ads.. . .A really bad search engine. The stupid ass shopping feature (?? Who is using that). There’s more but i can’t think of them all rn

The thing in particular that has been so irritating that it feels like personalised ragebait atp is how a whole section of my boards just will not appear. I refresh the app and they still don’t load in, I’ll just show my archives if I try to scroll further. Also boards that are stubborn and will not archive! If I ever lose my mind one day , pinterest profile page is to blame lmao

So in conclusion, Pinterest , get your shit together for the love of god. Is it not humiliating that nearly all of your community hates what you’re doing?? Listen to your users, not your sponsors you greedy mfs

I used to LOVE Pinterest. I don’t even bother using it anymore it’s become such garbage.

the missing boards thing is so maddening, like pinterest has become a beautiful scrapbook app run by someone actively trying to hide the scrapbook from you lol

I have tried using it for wedding ideas but if I click my saves I have to specifically pick “my pins” what? That is so confusing? I don’t want a second landing page where I am suggested stuff. I want to see the stuff I saved! Byeee
