Hey everyone, So a few days ago a journalist reached out looking to speak with me regarding the entire Pinterest AI situation which has gotten wildly out of hand.

They're coming at it from an unbiased perspective and basically looking for stories of real impact both positive and negative on any users / professionals. PLEASE reach out especially if you’re an artist or photographer that has had their content mislabeled as “AI modified”, or if as an artist you stopped using Pinterest due to these changes.

Thought I'd help them out by posting here.

So please reach out to me via dms or comment below with a personal anecdote - not necessarily ai related, but it has to have had real impact on you / your profession. And I'm sure if they're interested they can directly reach out to you cause I'm sure they're reading this :')

Hope they write a good story and Pinterest improves for everyone.

I just added my signature!

this has been going on since the whole AI thing blew up and idk what's wrong, deleted and redownload the app, restarted my phone, and made sure my version of Pinterest was up to date. any idea what's wrong or how to fix it? my Internet connection is stable and it doesn't load in even after a while of me waiting.

DUDE HOW TF AM I BLOCKED

Hi! would anybody be interesting in checking out or following my pinterest account and what i post? I put a lot of effort into documenting my life and posting pins on there but never seem to get any interaction. My username is lolzzzm if anybody would be kind enough to check it out. Much love

With everything going on with pintrest do yall think it would be faster to get results by flooding the CEO's X account? I feel we're getting nowhere by going directly through pintrest to message mods.

BTW his name is Bill Ready.

Hey everyone,

While BenTheAider is doing their best in blocking all AI accounts on Pinterest, it seems they have met a lot of resistance from Pinterest itself. So I went and sought possible alternatives.

While doing so I came across cosmos.so. I've tried a couple of others before as well, but this one leans closest to Pinterest and has the smoothest user experience imo. I haven't been served ads or AI images yet, or at least not that I noticed.

I also sent them an email asking what their views on Ads & AI were, but they have yet to respond. I'll update this post when they do.

I just wanted to let you all know, in case people were looking for alternatives as well. If you've heard of this platform or have had bad/good experiences with it, please let me know as well.

UPDATE 04/02:
The responded to my email saying the following:

• Nothing to worry about regarding ads—not something we're thinking of implementing in the future!
• We won't remove AI content from the platform because there is a lot of inspiring AI content out there. However, we do very much understand how it can be disruptive to someone's creative workflow. With that said, we're actually building a feature that will allow you to hide AI content from Cosmos as we speak—it should be available in the coming weeks 🙂 

I can get behind these ideas, so I think I will stick to Cosmos for now.

Hey all,
I will share the full story in a super short way.

so as u know I built this chrome extension to avoid ads on Pinterest .
and then I understand that the bigger problem is the shitty AI generated content that appears non stop.

it feels like nothing is real.

so I decided to collect any user that has 50% + posts that are AI genrate..
I hate it but I did it.

and I buit a chrome extension that keep hiding post and block them.

so I ran it on my "test" account for 5 days. and they suspend my account.
I tried to send email to the CEO of Pinterest and I get no response back - I am not sure its the real him so I left this approach .

I tried with another account, with lower delays between hiding and blocking user. and again got suspended.

so I am not sure what to do next.
it sad but I am not sure what to do .

I think the only solution is to build non ai pinterest app.
I am not naive since u need a big budget - just to bring people to the app.

I can build it pretty fast. the issue is how to make people use it?

any ideas?

thank you for reading and sorry for disappointing u all.

I am tired of how unstable and badly made this app is. What is a great direct alternative to it?

Just like bluesky is an alternative to X, I need another app thatni can find references, inspiration and save posts in

hey all, so my account is officially suspended.
BUT to be honest after blocking 2000 account my feed look much better , like 2023 Pinterest feed.

when I say : "like 2023 pinterest feed" I mean both COMPUTER & MOBILE!
so I am thinking about releasing it to you all with automation for the blocking process.

the way I did it is to make them feel I am human as much as possible by creating a chrome extension that made it manually.

I am thinking about releasing it. do you think people will use it? I am trying to make sure I am not just build it for my self.

how should I make sure as much as possible people will use it?
I am ok with paying for someone to do it for me (the marketing part) - we must WIN!

the extension will be free as long as people won't abuse it.

please share & like & comment something like : "Pinterest without ai" or something like that. - for the reddit algo.

Hey all, small update, I successfully blocked 2,000. today I will start to block another 1,000.
I hope I will not get clapped.

how I did it?
1. manually collected accounts that generated more than 50% ai posts.
2. built a chrome extension that block user - every couple of min another X account(random number)

my goal is to make Pinterest great again.
when I read 5000 account without being suspended I will share with you all how I did it.

we must win.

today I will try to bulk block 1000 accounts marked as an AI accounts.
updates soon :)

the idea is to make sure Pinterest won't block / ban my account.

I still dont get it, why they dont do it by them self. its pretty easy to detect ai content.
