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.

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.

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.

Pinterest is not what it used to be Pinterest is not what it used to be. Now, using this app is a mine field of invasive pop-up ads that cover the page you are trying to read and don’t go away, even when tapping the “x” several times. When viewing my saved pins for recipes, it does this making it nearly impossible to follow the recipe as I am cooking. Sick of it and moving to a different app.

Pinterest supports known Scammers Pinterest knowingly and willingly allow scam artists on their platform. Complaints are received and responded to with a copy / paste answer. They know it and would rather make advertising revenue over protecting their subscriber base. They have dozens as we speak. Theyre not “looking into it” rather they are supporting it. I’m dedicating time and resources to expose their business practices.
