AI slop made me leave

AI slop made me leave. I repeatedly told Pinterest (through settings, feedback tickets, and "algorithm training") that I have zero interest in AI slop on my feed. The continued prevalence of it, as well as the insistence of Pinterest leadership in doubling down on the slop, is causing me to delete my account.

I first joined Pinterest in 2012, shortly after the birth of my child, as a way to still exercise my creative muscles even though I didn't have the energy to create at the time. I deleted that account when I rebranded, and have had this one for several years, if I remember correctly. I'm disappointed and let down, and that is an understatement, with Pinterest's recent layoffs of artists and other creatives due to the baffling decision of management to commit to shoehorning AI into the app.

It is my opinion, having been a Pinterest user for over a decade, that the site is dying due to poor management decisions - every other pin is an ad, and half the rest are fake tutorials created by soulless computer programs - and that combination is going to drive real, human users away. That combination *is* driving real, human users away - all I see lately about Pinterest online in other spaces is how bad it is now, and how many people are quitting.

Far far too much gen ai

I have my setting set to show less gen-ai images but it is still nearly impossible to find any real art drawn by an actual person, absolutely absurd. They need to add a feature to just opt out of it entirely.

Removing pins without specifications.

Pinterest have been removing some of the pins I saved and their reasons were that those pins contained sensitive materials, and that it was violating their policies. They didn’t specify which pins they were, and not giving me an option to view the removed pin itself, all the while threatening to take action against my account for apparently saving some pins. And ironically, they didn’t seemed to be holding the uploader of those pins accountable. It’s a shame that such an app with great reference is being managed by unreasonable people, or with brainless bots that can’t distinguish between what’s appropriate and what not. In addition, their response is horrible when I submit an appeal, they basically still threatened to take actions against my account. I’m now thinking of deleting my account if it’s even possible, and just use and save anonymously.

I looked further into it and other users said it was well ni impossible to send this back and get a refund. I thought Pinterest was a trusted site. I am now deleting the app. It's all scams and money making rubbish advertisements

I go to Pinterest when I need ideas for decorating or recipes. The feed shows a lot of useful stuff, and the search function is convenient. Sometimes there are duplicate pins, but overall the app helps me find inspiration.

Why did you destroy this great platform. The trash advertising now is taking away any possible creativity from users. Just a continual run of the same trash advert. Annoys me when I spend time there now, not enjoyable any more. if you believe bringing in Ai is a good idea, will bring you further down in my estimation. Advertising is useless if you have no visitors.

Always check Trustpilot before purchasing.

Purchased advertised products from Pinterest!!
Please be very careful buying products advertised on Pinterest always check Trust Pilot first, if the company has no reviews make sure company is UK based as so many are based in the far east, China, Singapore etc. So many people are reporting issues either delivery delayed for weeks, receiving endless emails apologizing for delay, not answering your emails, orders when delivered are often not not as advertised and if you need to return products most often it will cost more than the item and you are very unlikely to receive your money back. Check out Isaberry for instance you will see exactly what I mean. My advise don’t bother I have tried to contact Pinterest to complain but it’s impossible they are probably located in the far east to and don’t give a damn about you or anyone else. If in doubt don’t buy!!!
