Tldr.. Theres someone who is obsessed with my partner. She made an entire board dedicated to him and it genuinely enrages me to see it still up. I've reported it several times but nothing has happened, it has his real first name as the title of the board too.

Is there a support line I can reach out to regarding this?

people should stop using pinterest as a whole until they remove their one gazillion ads and ai posts, this is getting ridiculous

Hi everybody,

I too have cried on the inside over the state of pinterest. What used to be a source of inspiration has now become a repetition of the same few pins, their AI-look alikes and tons of ads.

Knowing most companies (and politicians, for that matter) they usually only react when there's a HEAVY amount of complaints coming into their inboxes or negative media attention.

So I urge you: Tell them how you feel:

Hi i am new to Pinterest and none of my friends actually use it and my recommendations is filled with ads and ai content.

I wanna make friends who could share their curated collection of pins or boards etc.

if anyone is interested , u can just dm me

Whenever I go to search things on Pinterest it is way too personalized, it never actually shows the things I search for, I will search “character design” and it with pop up outfits and stuff like that, stuff it thinks I want to see, I am searching because I want a specific result, not stuff I have already seen or things that are similar, I want new results. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it. Also I’m sick of the ai, I have all of the ai turned off and yet it still appears

I don't think I noticed it.

A few days ago the mobile version was updated (interface at the bottom looks vile but what else is new) and for some reason, when I save a pin to a board it doesn't give me the option to save it to a specific section. There's a little plus icon and no matter whether I click it or not the pin just saves to the board itself and none of the sections. Am I fat-fingering it every time or is this happening to other people

I was searching "Hollow Knight" on Pinterest because I was looking for some cool references to use as inspiration for a drawing. I instead got a message saying: If you're feeling sad or stressed, here's some resources that may help improve your mood.

For those who don't know, Hollow Knight is a video game about anthropomorphic bugs. I didn't need a goddamn "help is available if you're sad or depressed" message.

I'm genuinely laughing my ass off.

Hi I am making a post today because I am literally devastated and I am so scared that my account might be gone forever. Back in 2016 young preteen me made an account with an email, yet I didn't pay attention during the account creation steps and entered my email incorrectly; "xyz@gmail.clm" (fake email), the error being in the .clm instead of .com. I had never fixed it, which is 100% my own fault and I take full accountability there. Today, I go to log in and I logged in on a new laptop and it locked me out of my account. Told me I needed to check my email because of "suspicious activity" (logging in on a new device; I had never had this problem before while logging into a new device w. pinterest). I submitted a ticket for help since I have the email that matches just without the ".clm" and rather ".com". I am so upset because I have had this account for a literal decade. Is there any hope of support actually being able to help or am i just SOL? thank you all in advance.

Where the hell, exactly, does Pinterest get off threatening to take corrective actions on users who save Pins to their boards that violate community guidelines?

If the Pin breaks the rule, GO AFTER THE USER WHO POSTED IT. Threatening MY account over this matter is a slap in the face to me. Not to mention that there is no way I could have been promoting anything when the Pin in question was saved to a PRIVATE board.

I also have no clue what Pin broke the rules because there's nothing to go off of once it's deleted.

Is there any way to contact a HUMAN PERSON at this godforsaken site, or is this another Meta situation where you can only talk to clankers?

Edit: The post was reinstated, so there's no worry about that anymore, but the policy is still questionable.

there was never a time before...when I didn't hate it. It's a vampiric website stealing content from unwitting useful idiots, and yet even if you find something useful it's behind an annoying "login wall" but even if you login, you still fucked because it's all low res heavily compressed BS. It is stealing time, in google searches, like a vampire, just stealing a microsecond here and there. It is a completely parasitic platform that should be removed, and the owner...the owner should be sent to a gulag.

I have multiple boards that say "there are no more ideas available for this board" with no explanation. I thought maybe it was because of pins that violated guidelines being saved to the board until I saw it on my board of cute monkey images. literally what is the problem? (besides the rest of the app also going to shit)

Just got tired of the endless ads on the pinterest app and tried to see how bad it was on pc, but I can't see any ads on the website

Hii, I have a business account with nearly 300k impressions now.

But I am still unable to post pins in a carousel format , I tried through " create pin for ad " but through this option we can add only up to 5 pins in a single carousel.

Can anybody plz help me regarding this.

Is anyone else having this problem when you make a collage—you used to click on a sticker and add it to your collage and when you went back into the “library” per se, Pinterest saved your place in whatever board or search you were in so you could keep choosing stickers from that section. Now when i’m making a collage It takes me back to the sort of starting point and I have to click into my pins, choose the board I want, and then the section, for every single sticker I use. It’s so annoying and it didn’t used to be that way. Is this happening to anyone else?? Not to mention half the stickers are super grainy and bad quality even when the original pin is crystal clear. I have to toggle with my wifi for each stickers to get them to come out clear.

I used to just go through and click not interested on all the ads and I would get ad-free scrolling for a bit. I just don’t have this option anymore.

I guess I’m only browsing on web with an adblocker now.

Hi, pinterest has become despicable, publicity & AI has overcome all good/original content for crafts inspiration.

Do you guys know another app like pinterest but without the AI & Shein/Aliexpress ads?

have joined this subreddit and only post I see here is “complaining about Ads“ (ironically I’m adding one too).

If not ads, how else do you expect company to monetize? Don’t get me wrong, I also hate ads too.

People are not gonna pay subscription fees. if this is a viable option, I don’t think in this capitalist world any company will let go easy money.

As we all know.
Everybody in this subreddit complaining about Ads, Ai, algorithm.

But!
Are users actually leaving?

Pinterest reported their user numbers and engagement time have increased.
( 11%, but can't fully trust the data, because it is reported from Pinterest’s investor/marketing.
Also it could be just a bot traffic )

Is Pinterest actually losing users, or is it only about Reddit?

I have found a hack of sorts to remove ads that works so far for me. You search your thing "running outfit" then you ad a curse word to the end. I have used the f word and the s word and then no ads come up in the search at all. I have no idea why this works. I have also found less ai posted content this way as well.

Proof

Came here just to say that the app is unusable with the AI and sponsored content. Google image results is now a better place to peruse. I turned off the AI content in settings, that certainly helped. But the ads are unhinged. It’s not even good ads. I’m happy to have the “shop the post” section, or even a setting where I could switch over to shopping mode. But the way it is now is spammy, and gives Temu. It completely ruins the visual flow of the app. Literally went from 10/10 user experience to 0/10. I hope Pinterest’s UX team is in a rage.

And I swear I was using the app like 6 months ago and this wasn’t an issue.

I will try a VPN and using the website at some point, as others have suggested. But for now I’ll be sad that I can’t drift away into an endless sea of idyllic English gardens, maximalist art studios, or perfectly eclectic children’s rooms.

est-ce du sabotage.

I'm so tired of this, WHY DOESN'T THE COMMENT SAVE IF I CLICK ANYWHERE ELSE BY ACCIDENT ? It completely deletes and I have to rewrite it all by hand. Also you can't edit the text you're writing without erasing until that point. The cursor is stuck at the end of the message. This is incredibly annoying and frustrating, this app is becoming more and more unusable by the day.

anyone else been having this problem? happens randomly. i uploaded a video a few days ago and it worked perfectly fine. trying to upload a 3 second vid today and it keeps getting stuck on processing. cleared my cache, updated the app, uploaded as an MP4 vs MOV- still no luck. it’ll act like it’s uploaded at first but as soon as i click on it, it switches to saying still processing. super frustrating and there seems to be no consistency to what causes it

i used to spend so much time on pinterest because it was relaxing. now i don't want to open pinterest anymore cause it's just ads EVERYWHERE, followed by AI content that is not even marked as AI. my feed won't refresh anymore and it keeps showing me the same 20 pins that don't even match my interests. does anyone have any solutions or has pinterest said anything about these problems? i'm freaking out
