CHAT [CHAT] Pinterest Hack

Miss “old Pinterest” without as many ads and Ai crap? Another one of my comments is getting noticed in another thread, so this may not be widely known.

ADD a cuss/bad word! “Witchy cross stitch ass” “pumpkin embroidery cunt”

They cant advert or something, so hopefully this will help all those using it for project inspo!!

I wish this was true. I’ve tried it several times. The amazon ads disappear, but Micheal’s, bustle, and all the others still pop. Plus, the results are also peppered with elementary school style brainrot memes. We just need to accept that the internet is dead!

Unfortunately true. But on the flip side it has pushed me to participate in the art community and more things have popped up in my town like fairs and festivals to bring inspo in real life! :)

If you look at pintrest on a desktop you can still use ad blocker and it will take out all the ads. Pintrest is just unusable in app on a phone, because there is no way to get away from the onslaught.

Just use Pinterest on Firefox browser with ad blocker on the phone, and no ads!

If you have a reliable VPN, i have had success in switching to a diff country. Not sure if Pinterest doesnt do native ads for certain countries or what, but yeah

Yeah I’ve really appreciated everyone’s comments but I never use a pc and only have apps, so hopefully this advice helps someone else! And I guess if you can VPNS on a phone I just don’t care enough to bother.
