I do not want a Pinterest account. Every time I visit a link to this site through search results it illegally creates an account for me. I have contacted support repeatedly about this. They close my account and it automatically reopens on an accidental click. I have reported you to the FTC. Stop creating accounts for people who have no interest in your tracking and your deceptive site!

Pinterest does not adhere to your business' policies, it will make policies that help criminals scam you. Pinterest will tell you what words you can use and what words you cannot use. If a word is very important to help customers find your product, too bad Pinterest rules over you. You had better be rich enough to buy whatever products Pinterest thinks you should buy, not the products you, the expert choose. You cannot have a product go out of stock. Remember, you are not self employed, Pinterest is your boss and will call the shots about how you spend your money. Better be prepared to hire a professional photographer too. Pinterest will criticize your photography and tell you that you are not good enough for their platform while allowing others to post distasteful images and other stuff that is downright wrong. You can write an "About Me" page on your website that is unique and comes from your heart, but Pinterest will make slanderous accusations that you plagiarized that page even when that would be impossible. Last but not least, after you worked hours daily for five years to build your engagements to over 5 million a month, Pinterest will crush those numbers down to a trickle unless you pay through the teeth for mafia style protection disguised as "advertising".

For the past few months I have engaged in a useless struggle to fix two problems
1. I cannot send a pin to my group
2. Pins show 8 comments, but there are no comments, I post a comment and comment count is still 8 comments. Later my comment is gone. Messages from Pin group that they have commented on such and such pin, there are no comments.

Instructions from Pinterest complicated, went to Apple, paid $175.00 for trouble shooting, and told this is@ Pinterest, contact Customer Service. More repeat instructions.

So we did some research, since I cannot send a pin, sent messages to a group, go to All Pins and see first pin. There are 7 comments, non visible. I placed a comment, can you add a comment, let me know if you can see my comment? Comment count increased by five, comment count remains@ 7, I can see none of their comments, and they cannot see mine. They also cannot see the 7 reported comments.

Great website easy to use and very friendly love being able to look up memes and wallpapers on it and saving them to your phone is super easy. I have no complaints with Pinterest.

Pinterest is misleading. They charged me for 1 ad for a year on a product I only gave them trial authorization to use. Then insist on keeping my money I never reinitiated these charges but each time I reposted the photos with the same title they charged, 50, 25, 35, etc. Do not trust them since I started they sent 3 emails that look just like their constant junk mail. They charged me over $150 for a shirt advertisment that they knew was not connected with an active Etsy account

Been on Pinterest off and on for years. Just got back on and am totally disgusted with all the advertising. They might as well just post advertising and forget the subject matter.
Everytime I click on a recipe there is so much advertising it overlaps the the recipe.
Totally disgusted with this platform.

So I've been interested in aesthetic lately, but all the pics I could get are on pinterest, which, by the way, has just about a million ads, so I decided to create an account and it was pretty nice, and THEN after 10 minutes, I could not get in! My account has apparently been suspended. I emailed them twice. The first time, they sent me an email back saying (quote) Oof! It looks like your message didn't go through. This usually happens if it's been awhile since we've heard from you, or if your original question was closed. Sorry about that!
Well it has only been about 5 minutes! So I re-emailed them, because I was interested in the account. I have not gotten an email back and, reading the reviews, I don't think I will. Great while it lasted, which was about 10 minutes.

It feels like they have so many good design stuff but every time you click on something you see and like, it takes you to a place not what you saw.

I am using Pinterest since 2 months and it is providing me 1k+ views on my projects that is really helpful for me.

They started sending me unsolicited emails. Well one thing caught my eye. A curling iron. Therefore, I ordered it months ago and never got the product but they got my money. They won't answer emails. So I figured I would just chalk it up to me falling for a scam. So I decided to uninstall their app and They wouldn't let me. THEY SAID IT WAS ILLEGAL TO DELETE THEM AND WOULDN'T LET ME! They need to be investigated for fraud and thievary. I wouldn't know where to begin. PLEASE do not respond to their emails. Also the name of the company advertising on Pinterest that I ordered from is HOWOWOH.

I dislike very much when I am searching for recipes and they automatically go to Pinterest and I cannot print the recipe without signing up, subscribing, blah, blah, blah.
A few years ago I ordered an item and NEVER received it, not even an apology.
I do not understand the hype. I wish I could ban it from my computer. Now I just go to Food Network before I search for a recipe.

Pinterest customer service is the worst I've experienced and it amazes me that as big of a company they are, that they can't do better in customer service. All of my encounters have been what seem to be easy fixes but they just refuse to fix. Here are a couple things that have happened that have really bothered me... almost feels like I got tricked by them. First they offer me $60 credit to run ads. I run ads on Facebook and thought I'll go ahead and give this a try. After spending time to set up my Pinterest ads account and put in my billing card info, they kept denying my ad. Eventually I lost the $60 credit. Then next they offer me $30 credit, so I give it another try. I spent hours learning Pinterest ads and setting up the campaigns, launched my ad and the $30 credit that was available just hours before was no longer available. I contacted the company and they did nothing to help.
