Comments and Reviews
It is a very popular site with lots of traffic and attractive photos on a variety of subjects.
Far too many ads, and there's nothing visually different between the ads and the content you want to see.
Terrible user interface makes curating pictures a nightmare.
"Ads, ads, ads," as a majority of commenters would say. I'd like to point out also that Pinterest began filling up with AI-generated pictures, which can be bothersome for artists. https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtistLounge/comments/10seifd/i_am_annoyed_on_how_pinterest_starting_to_be/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Pinterest/comments/1ipdva1/pinterest_needs_to_put_a_ban_against_ai_imagery/
I feel like after Pinterest decided to start training AI models on user data was the last straw for me.
Another personal problem that stuck with me for a while is that users can upload awesome artwork without crediting the original artist or citing its source; something I'm not a fan of. Even if the art truly originates from Pinterest only and not anywhere else, I still can't help but be judgemental about the art being posted. That's just what I think.
Pinterest used to be very good. Now it mainly consists of ads and censorship. A picture of a shoulder or a couple hugging is seen as "adult content", which is forbidden on Pinterest, so these pictures get deleted. Too many of these arbitrary rule violations lead to account suspension. Nothing would be easier than introducing an age restriction - but no, let's spoil it for everyone.
It gives me information
It's too easy to get your account suspended for small things.
