Pinterest

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 absolutely hate the amount of advertising on this app. Every other pin is sponsored content. I try to do the Hide 5 pins and refresh trick, which seemed to work pretty well at first, but I feel like I have to do it constantly now in order to avoid ads. I shouldn't have to go through the trouble. It's getting ridiculous. Also, I feel like the algorithm sucks now. It constantly recommends pins that are not related to my interests in the slightest. EDIT: NOW THE ADS ARE BAKED IN!!!!!!!!! 🤬

This app has too many ads, AI stuff, and shopping links now. It used to be a great app to save things from different blogs or find new blogs. It was also useful for finding and saving new ideas or information for the different things you love or want to do. 98% of what shows up now is honestly not useful. If I want to purchase something, I will do my own research or go straight to the actual website. Please bring back what Pinterest used to be like.
