JUST DON'T They seriously need to tighten up their rules. Allowing obvious scams to run ads on their site is just not cool. I got burned by one myself. There was this fake company pretending to be legit. Luckily, I got my cash back and reported them. But guess what? I'm scrolling through the site later, and boom, there's another ad from those same scammers! Like, seriously, they're acting like nothing happened. So, my advice: don't click on anything linked to them.

Love /Hate relatjonship… I love Pinterest for the great ideas and very helpful posts about almost anything. WHAT I ABSOLUTLEY HATE is that the website is slowly but surely being taken over by posts that are vehicles for scammers. If something is too cheap, it is too cheap. And the health posts are unverified. Eventually, Pinterest will collapse if it does not take action.

The absolute worst platform imaginable The absolute worst platform imaginable. I've LITERALLY been emailing back and forth with 'customer service' (what a joke to even call it that) for 3 months trying to get them to help me upload a product catalog. If it weren't so unbelievably infuriating, it would make a great SNL skit. It should not be allowed that a platform of this size make it so incredibly complicated to navigate as a business owner trying to understand and take advantage of their offerings, and then have ZERO live customer service support. I will not be using this platform any longer. Which is really unfortunate, because I was really hoping it would be a beneficial one for me.

Ran by boring people Used to use Pinterest back in 2010. Haven't used properly in years. For some reason last couple of months of 2024 I keep getting emails about pins being removed for violating terms. Album covers and such. Must be ran by some right straight laced boring folk now as none of them have been offensive in anyway, but conveniently the appeal link on the email never works. Chuff right off you boring people.

ALLOW PINNING TO THE SAME BOARD AT ONCE ALLOW PINNING TO THE SAME BOARD AT ONCE For some reason Pinterest (desktop) decided to stop allowing multiple images from one site to be pinned to the same board - you have to manually go and select the board each time for each image. This wastes so much time, especially when you are pinning to a section on a board (which I usually am). I will never use the Pinterest app, I only use it on my computer. Also, my board covers are all wrong, don't fit properly/are cropped wrong and I can't fix them. In reality Pinterest is not 1 star, but I'm angry they don't listen to customer feedback. I've been a Pinterest user for over 10 years, and it used to be great.
