I enjoy Pinterest above all social media because I have used it with my daughter growing up to accumulate positive quotes, crafts, and to help us enjoy things together without the drama of people commenting or "discouraging" each other. I believe that most of social media has been at times the worst of us and has caused changes in all of our behavior for the good. Now that she is almost in college, we still enjoy pinning with each other and sending things like crafts that we can do together and send each other positive encouragements. At least this site, you can enjoy with others similar likes and interests with the younger ones maybe keep the drama mostly out if you want it out. Very helpful in many areas and drama-free :D
I used to enjoy Pinterest, but found myself not enjoying it as much as I used to. It's now full of ticktok and click bate crap, which you need to filter through to get to the good stuff.
Pinterest removed the feature where you can see more pins related to the specific one you clicked on. Now, the just show ads and business products completely unrelated to what I had clicked
I went to logon to Pintrest this evening and was directed to provide how I identify my gender. Could not exit the page without completing, which I did not do. The reason stated was to improve my browsing experience. Unacceptable, who do they share this info with and what's the real reason they collect this data? Will never use Pintrest again. I feel it's an invasion of my privacy when this line of questioning is not a voluntary request.
We start a new account in pinterest. After a couple of days we decided to run a ad campaign as they suggested for $3 per day totalling 10 days for $30. Within 2 days of ad they charged our card over $250.00. This company is a crook and deceiver. I will never use them again. They refuse to close account and making it hard to find ad info to stop ads. Yet it easy to start a ad campaign. Stay away from the ad campaign. They will drain all your money on your card.
So for starters everything on Pinterest is very misleading. But what gets me the most is the stuff sold on Pinterest or advertised on Pinterest. I have recently bought two items that I have seen on Pinterest. One was a hair straightener for men's beards and on the advertisement they showed Men grooming their beards with this straightener and their hair coming out extremely straight. Well it will straighten your hair but it gets extremely hot you cannot put it on your face the way they advertise you will burn. Second was a RC tractor it was advertised as fully Functional. The thing does not even want to drive on a flat surface it has no power and also it is not fully functional. It only goes back-and-forth now I could get an RC car from Walmart that goes back-and-forth for around $10 I paid $35 for this POS that I bought through advertisement on Pinterest. For this reason I will be deleting Pinterest.
Once you sign up this company keeps sending emails and solicitations forever. I tried to unsubscribe after. Week but by then my brand new email address had been handed out to countless other providers. My nice clean email box is rapidly filling up with junk mail and I am going to change email again. I think this is a business of soliciting email addresses and selling them off to third party providers.
This site is worthless if you search for a specific item. I think that site should be taken down. It's a waist of time.
I have been using pin for a few years now and the last updates of this app has really made this app worthless! When you click on your activity you can't see who is following you or the people you are following. The letters are all jumbled and you can't read them the only thing I can make out Is what I have saved and what I have tried. It is completely frustrating! I have to delete the app and reload it then it comes up normally but as soon as I leave the sight and go to another app then back to pin it's all screwed up again! If I didn't use this for my recipes I would delete this app all together!
Pinterest was once decent but now you can barely see or find the recipe because there are an absurd amount of ads. And the videos are the worst. Like really pinterest you need video ads? I can hardly stand using the platform anymore
This place is filled with art reposters/thieves.
This person, https://pin.it/5FJy1R1 stole are from this artist https://joky-the-jester.tumblr.com/post/**************/please-i-need-your-help-this-person-has-published
The Artist, Jokylexander, asked the art thief to take their work down. The art thief responded by blocking them. Keep in mind that this is not the only artist this person has stolen from, and there's many more art thieves on this app.
The artist, their friends, and I have been trying to contact Pinterest for help and have yet to get a response.
Pinterest ban my account and say you are againts our spam policy.
Really a very non coperative website
Away for a few years & my boards are still there but it's not my contacts. I hv attempted to post several items but where fo they go i can't find them is there a Pinterest for Dummies?
I just wanted to look at a few photos from a 60s television show (the Munsters) when I did a google search. As it stands, I need a pintrest account to do so. WHY...? For what? It seems as though "VISUAL DISCOVERY" is their motto... ONLY if you have an account with them. So they can monetize my wanting to look at a few pictures. Cool idea... yeah. So great. NOT...
I finally got myself a Pinterest page yesterday and I'm on the fence as far as what I think about them.
They have beautiful pictures and a large variety as well but I found it EXTREMELY frustrating that you can't share any of their stuff without it stating that it's from Pinterest!
I mean, lighten up a little bit Pinterest! What would it harm if you allowed for some of the pics to not have your company name attached to it!?
We have had an issue with our pins (business page) and have opened multiple customer support tickets - not ONE has been answered! Tickets were closed without a response. Completely unprofessional. Our issues are still ongoing. More trouble that it's worth. Would not advertise with this company - you'll never hear from them!
I used Pinterest since shelter at home, and really got inspired with different ideas. I like Pinterest, frankly the UX is simple and it always gives what you want.
BTW, shopping on Pinterest is getting nicer as well. I know sometimes ads can be annoying to some people, but it does not bother me like how Youtube does.
I used Pinterest for years to keep information, patterns, recipes, and to store my photos. I went to log in and there was a message that I was suspended and that they had sent me an email which was a total LIE. I have written to them on numerous occasions and have not received a response which leads me to the conclusion that their methods are totally nefarious.
I PURCHASED A WATER JET FROM MODERN MINT FOR $49. IT STATES IT ATTACHES EASILY TO ANY GARDEN HOSE. THIS IS NOT TRUE. THIS COMPANY IS LOCATED IN CANADA MAKING SHIPPING BACK A RETURN MORE EXPENSIVE THEN THE ITEM. IF YOU COMPLAIN TO YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND DO A CHARGE BACK THEN THEY WILL ADD $35 TO YOUR CREDIT CARD CHARGE. THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM!
I just closed my Pinterest account, which I used to enjoy, because of all the swearing in the comments by disrespectful and inconsiderate people who don't think about anyone else. I then emailed Pinterest to ask them to disable the comments feature as it's a big negative. I am hoping that other people will do the same to get the message through to Pinterest.
