Pinterest

I've been using pintrest for 10+ years, and I used to love it. It was a great way to discover new artists, and I was impressed by how good the algorithm was at finding things I'd like. However, the excess of AI art is ruining the app and making it borderline unusable. I don't want to see any AI content, but my feed remains full of it no matter how many times I click "not interested." Please do something about this.

Love(d) this app. Haven't been on in a few years, but holy cow, did it change ... What happened!? It's almost 100% ads and shop links now. Nearly unusable. I used to find some unique blogs/articles/ideas not found in most of the big search engines and was hoping it was still a good place for unique takes, but now I see it's no longer Pintrest, it's Pintrash.

I hate how a pop up shows up with options to send a picture every time I download a pin. I keep accidentally sending pins to people 😂😅 other than that, way too many ads. I see more ads in my feed than regular pictures. The notification section has been broken for a long time. I'll get a notification on my phone that someone likes my comment, but it won't show up in my notifications. Nothing shows up anymore. When I get likes, when someone saves my pin, nothing.

Way Too Many Ads now. This used to be my favorite app to scroll in the late night and early morning when I can't sleep and needed low stimulation content. There used to be great ads for cute items I was genuinely interested in that I would even purchase from now and again. Now, though, there are more nonsense ads advertising things I'd never buy, which take up 8/10 of the rectangles of content on the page. It now also stops your video or music when you open the app, which I hate so much.

I've been an avid user for over a decade. most recently, I contacted the help center to figure out why I keep being notified when all notification settings are turned off. I've had 5 back and forth emails with screenshots and customer service insists my notifications are not turned off (they are) and is not helpful at all. they keep requesting a video of my account, when screen shots show the same thing. useless and annoying.
