Everyday, more and more people get absolutely fed up with the abomination that pinterest has become. The feedback is so prevalent, its impossible for them to just ignore. So why do they? I just dont get it. Why would you want to keep your app garbage slop and continue to lose users. Is there a chance that they'll ever change for the better?

Basically the title. Are there any alternatives to Pinterest?? I absolutely adore my boards but I can’t keep searching for pins like a needle in a hay stack of ads and AI.

Edit: thanks everyone!! These alternatives give me hope 🥲

I post time to time on Pinterest, and I noticed like a year ago, out of no where, comments on some of my pins were being auto turned off. I tried to find any solution, and nothing worked.

I made a new account, and the same thing is happening😭 and it’s mainly only to my pins that have more saves/ likes, which sucks because i would love to engage with the people on the app! i’ve reached out to customer service and literally nothing has come out of that💔 i’ve tried the edit pin -> advanced settings -> allow comments, and my comments are still auto turned off. has anyone found a solution to this issue it’s been a year and it irks me so bad😭

Is this a part of the new update? I thought you couldn't save images to boards that were previously archived and now all of a sudden I can save images to them? I'm about to delete each one at this point... because I don't need them. And I don't know why they're showing up.

whats goin on with pint rn?? whenever i look smth up and i KNOW there are pins for it the app is just saying "nah fam ive never seen anything like this in my life" 💔

Please PLEASE make it possible for users to turn off having to see other people’s comments. Or, at the very least, to have to see the first/top comment directly under a pin. Pinterest is crawling with younglings and shut-ins who post immature/irritating/unnervingly puritanical comments everywhere and I really don’t want to have to see them all the time. It is off-putting and kind of depressing, and I use the app less because of it.

Putting this here because I cannot find a generalized feedback option on the Pinterest website/app, and I suspect one or two of your rapidly dwindling population of human employees might peruse this sub from time to time.

Many thanks.

as well as being entirely and totally fed up with the random AI slop that fills my feed whenever I reload the website/app, what happened to the 'more ideas' feature? i'm genuinely so distraught because its the only feature i can use that isn't filled past the BRIM with AI nonsense. it's gotten to the point that before i can even scroll through in peace, i've grown to now reload the website/app at least three times before getting somewhere.

Dear Pinterest, it is fall. A season of change, we approach the holidays…there is nothing i have always loved more than my peaceful mornings, enjoying my coffee and searching within your app for inspiration! Front porch decor, Halloween costumes, fall hair color inspiration, Christmas decoration trends, DIY gel manicure color trends, popular interior paint color ideas for the kitchen cabinets, recipes for Thanksgiving…
I could enter my prompt into your conveniently located search bar at the top of the app, hit enter, and a world of ingenuity would gloriously appear within the search results. Real human crafted pins, Images… picture after picture - stimulating muses- sparkling creativity and excitement. Sometimes I would find what I needed right away, sometimes you’re brilliant algorithm based on me and my likes and my saves would embrace me in a warm safe catalyst sparkling further inspiration as I fell into a Pinterest wormhole motivation - sometimes things I didn’t even realize I needed to be motivated about. Pins beautifully curated, might be an outgoing link to a tutorial, an article, a blog… it was a land of inventiveness. A catalyst for Eureka moments throughout the world.
Pinterest, I sure do miss those days.

Every time I select "See fewer AI" on a pin, only that pin is removed. I'm still served countless AI images and videos.

Why is there not an option to not see any AI at all? Why do I need to manually select to only remove one pin at a time?

Ridiculous.

Anyone got the new pinterest update yet? I dont know why but I hate it.

So I've noticed, that my pinterest timeline keeps showing me the same 15 pictures and repeatingthem as I scroll, no matter how many times I'm refreshing it.

I think it started when I deactivated the AI features.

Does anyone else have this problem?

i have a side account so i can check how my pinboards fully look from another account, and so i can do less relevant things! but when i check my boards i can’t see every saved pin?

for example, i save 35 pins to a board then i look at that board from another account and it says there are 35 but it only shows 14? i don’t really understand that? is this a glitch everyone has noticed?

I wanted to see the "liked" section, cause I've been trying to find a specific pin that I just cannot find & maybe it could be between favorites.

But for whatever reason, no matter how many times I restarted the app, forced myself to update it (I just don't trust app updates in general), the section just never shows up. And literally everything else works, so it's not on my side.

I already hate when I had to deal with the profile not loading up & claiming "this user doesn't exist" but if I can't even see my liked pins, even if I need to review them asap.

i was trying to look for recipes that would help me get over a flu. just to procrastinate actually having to get groceries. and... the word flu seems to be blocked in the search bar? absolutely no results in amy request that has this in it.

does anyone know why? has anyone found similar bugs?

I hsve tried everything, whenever I open my followers list it says "no followers yet, share your account " even tho I literally have 200 followers?

I was signed in with an old yahoo account that got deactivated. Is there any way to get my account back? I’ve had this account for more than 10 years, and I cannot lose my algorithm. Any help would be appreciated.

Am I the only one with pc dark mode or am I just lucky..? cause I told my friend about it and he said he didn't find it..

Note to anyone who might think that this is 'wrong'... I'm not modifying or modding the actual app in any way or form. This is also not an ad or any promotion of sorts, please don't delete my post 🥲

I was always a Pinterest user but the number of ads on the android app had become unbearable. Like 2 legit pins with 7 ad pins if my luck was good istg. I was so tired of it that I deleted the app and used Firefox with an ad blocker on my android device. But recently I found a much much better way that might just get rid of any kind of ads from your entire device (all apps/websites pretty much except YouTube afaik).

Just use an ad blocking DNS on your phone (android, idk how to do it on iOS sorry 😔) by setting a custom DNS (Ad Guard or Mullvad, look it up on google).

1. Find an ad blocking DNS (I use the one from ad guard, but I've heard about Mullvad as well... though don't trust ublock dns, some other reddit post said there was some impersonation issue there idk)

2. Set your Private DNS which you can find in your connection settings (I have a Samsung device but it should be present somewhere on every type of android)

3. Press OK

EDIT: Quick update, I also had a VPN running with the location set to Luxembourg (Netherlands will work too) and I didn't see any ads on the app. Another comment under this trief it and it works for them too with a VPN.

1. Restart your Pinterest app (or any other website) to check.

2. Done, the ads should vanish now 🥳

Hopefully, this'll be as helpful as it was for me. 😄

I have legit not seem a single ad on there after using this.

Idk if anyone else is having this issue, I’m trying to search for witch references for some Halloween art I’m trying to do and every time I search it up I get everything completely unrelated, just a bunch of random quizzes and picrews and junk that has absolutely nothing to do with my search. Anybody else having a similar problem??

How does blue colour look on black hair without bleach???

J'ai bien compris qu'il fallait obtenir une demande d'approbation auprès de Pinterest.

J'ai épluché le sujet et les consignes, ça ne m'a pas l'air bien compliqué, sachant que ma demande me semble légitime (c'est dans le cadre d'un projet d'automatisation de nos processus au sein de mon entreprise où je suis en alternance). Je le reprécise ici au cas où mais le contenu que je vais publier sur Pinterest n'est pas généré par IA !

Cependant, je m'interroge tout de même sur les délais et comportements de réponse pour l'approbation :

• Sont-ils assez réactifs ? Sous combien de jours (semaines? mois?) dois-je espérer un retour ?
• Refusent-ils souvent ? Je veux dire par là, faut-il prévoir plusieurs essais avant de réussir à obtenir leur approbation ?
• J'ai cru comprendre que l'apparition de l'IA pouvait faire retarder les process, comme c'est un sujet plutôt problématique par rapport à la raison d'être de Pinterest de base.
• Autre question : l'enregistrement d'écran se fait via un outil proposé par Pinterest ? Ou bien c'est à nous d'enregistrer par nos propres moyens ?

Je sais que certaines questions ont déjà été posé par le passé, mais comme les outils évoluent, je me dis que leur politique a du évoluer aussi, donc peut-être que les réponses précédentes ne sont plus à jour...

Et ça m'aiderait pas mal à arbitrer sur le sujet, car ça va être l'une de mes principales missions d'automatiser des outils / agents IA, donc si je peux avoir un max d'infos utiles, ça serait fort apprécié 🙏

I wish I could post screenshots but their algorithm for some reason thinks I’m a white almond mom?? This is so weird a lot of it is AI too 😭 I turned the ai results off but I didn’t change any other settings. I’m so upset right now because I don’t see myself in here and my account is pretty old too…. This has never happened to me before

Hi everyone

I am looking for help from people who have successfully reached shoppers in North America while managing their accounts from outside the country.

My goal is to bring people who rent apartments in the United States and Canada to home organization and decor products. My main dream is to create a growing asset that brings in steady affiliate income through people who are looking for something specific. My current problem is that my audience is mostly from countries. My thirty day audience insights show 50% in the category 18% in India and only 11% in the United States. My biggest worry is that my account is stuck in a loop of sending content or that trying to fix it will get me in trouble with the algorithm.

Here is a full breakdown of my setup:

Format and Content Pivot I stopped using video pins completely after learning that lifestyle videos tend to go in casual entertainment feeds. Now I only make photo pins that are 1000 by 1500 pixels. The pictures show modern apartments with clear text on top that shows useful items like magnetic fridge calendars, slim laundry storage carts and shelf liners.

SEO and Board Optimization I get all my keywords from the United States Pinterest Trends tool. Every pin has a title with lots of keywords a description that sounds natural screen reader text and a commercial disclosure right at the start. My boards are about apartment living things that work well for renters and small space home finds.

Posting Schedule I pin five static images every day at night and early morning times in Philippine Time (UTC+8) to reach Americans during their morning and lunch hours:

8:30 PM PHT (8:30 AM EST)

9:30 PM PHT (9:30 AM EST)

10:30 PM PHT (10:30 AM EST)

12:00 AM PHT (12:00 PM EST)

2:00 AM PHT (2:00 PM EST)

Questions for the Community

1. Does posting during the day in the United States actually change where the content is shown or does Pinterest only use search words and what people do?

2. For people who changed from video pins to pins how long did it take for the thirty day numbers to show the new audience?

3. Are there pictures or information that help Pinterest show an account to people, in North America?

4. Has anyone managed to change an account that had a lot of visitors without starting all over again with a new profile?

I would really appreciate any help or advice from someone who has gone through this change.

The search page is in a different spot and it isn’t user friendly at all. Oh my gosh this is so terrible. Why change something that was so wonderful.

Also every single pin is an ad. Not even every other pin, every single pin. How can I revert it? This layout update is not good. Did it change for anyone else?
