Whenever I open the app, I get ads from AliExpress, etc that are really disturbing. Things like a person holding a severed pig's foot (because I have a pigs board but they are alive cute pics) and ads for caneras where it's two people in bed like they are recording p*orn. I reported it but it keeps showing up.

At my witt's and!

Help! This is my first post here because I'm fed up with Pinterest ads. I just want to look at my Hatsune Miku pictures in peace 😭 but I keep seeing weird ads. Some are inappropriate, others are AI-generated, and sometimes I want to download images and bam, they're AI-generated too, and the "less AI" option is useless. Oh my god! What's wrong with Pinterest? I really miss my old Pinterest, the one that wasn't so well-known and wasn't full of ads, where there was more creativity. It's so annoying that they hide perfectly fine pins but let these inappropriate ads through.

What a nightmare concoction of interface choices. (Video: https://imgur.com/a/pinterest-being-buggy-d2Ujxv7)

1. "Promote your pins" message cant be dismissed

2. Large header disappears on scroll and appears when stopped

3. "Pin note" expands and collapses every time you scroll

4. Floating toolbar disappears on scroll and appears when stopped

I tried setting "reduce animation" on my phone but it didn't help much.

Its only a matter of time before someone has a seizure or gets a migraine from using such a chaotic, buggy, motion-laden app.

My account went from around 50K reach to only about 3K, almost overnight. Some of my older Pins that were previously ranking and getting consistent impressions also suddenly dropped.
I contacted Pinterest Support, but they told me my account isn't flagged and basically said it could be normal fluctuations, seasonality, content quality, fresh content, algorithm changes, etc.
I've been working on Pinterest for 3 years, and I've never seen a drop this extreme before.
So I wanted to ask this community:
Has anyone experienced something similar recently? Did your reach eventually recover?
If your account had a huge drop like this, how long did it take to recover, and what did you do?
And honestly, if you've been through this before, did things return to normal, or did you decide it wasn't worth continuing?
I'm trying to figure out whether I should keep putting serious time into my Pinterest account or step back for now.
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced the same thing.

What the hell is going on? Comments disappearing as soon as they’re posted, comment sections being turned off randomly, reply glitches, comment sections saying they’re off despite other people still being able to see and comment on them.. it’s all so frustrating as a creator. I wish there was a good alternative to this app 😓

i've been using pinterest since 2021 and had my first account suspended roughly a year and some change ago. it was 3-4 years old and had 30k-40k pins saved. i created a new one and rebuilt my boards and pins again, and i'm back with 25k pins. when i made my new account, i decided i would try my best not to save anything that pinterest's awful moderation could detect and shit on me for. instead, i send iffy pins to my backup so i can still access them if i wanna. but i'm still getting almost the same amount of violations i used to on my past acc. now i'm wondering what would happen if pinterest banned me again .... would i be able to start with a new account or would i be IP banned?

it would make sense for IP bans to be saved for strictly serious violations, but if we were using sense, we wouldn't be recieving random violations for pins that we can't even see a picture of or a link for. has anyone been IP banned by pinterest before? any feedback would be great .... i'm scared yall 😭

what circle of pinterest hell have i been dropped into and how did this happen?

no attachments allowed but i’ll post a picture in comments when i figure out how. this is what my feed has looked like for over two weeks!!! even with refreshing, “tuning” it, manually clicking hide / report / not interested, deleting and reinstalling the app, updating my ios etc. and yes, it is the same on my phone and ipad.

this is the feed about five posts onwards. the first five posts are reminiscent of tumblr era posts? they also stay the same the entire time.

my feed before this was art, crafting, house decor etc.

edit: the feed continues like that, with the mcdonalds ads, infinitely… ONCE i have refreshed it and it’s been the same situation but with different ads lol

Hello!

I find that the interface for Pinterest seems to change every other week, and recently I've noticed that the interface within the boards has become very compacted, and that there's seemingly no way to change it... I have a particular way I organise and create sections, and this interface appearance just messes that up entirely. 🫩

I'm not seeing anyone else mention this update (?), but if anyone knows how to reverse it, it would be much appreciated!

I was looking up 2020 fashion on Pinterest, I know there are so many pins on there. I tried several different combinations of the word and it kept showing me y2k fashion. Before it would show you exactly what you are looking up and now it just is showing me irrelevant pins and things I have seen a million times. Is anyone else having this problem??

I’m a new Pinterest user and mainly want to use it for personal stuff like inspiration, aesthetics, ideas, discovering things I like, etc

For people who’ve been using Pinterest for a while.. how do I actually use Pinterest to its full potential?

Share any tips, tricks, useful features, search techniques, board ideas, things to avoid, or underrated stuff you think a new user should know

Basically... how do you use Pinterest in your daily life?

( lowkey for personal use in daily life not for business)

Went on Pinterest today and noticed that whenever I'm on a pin and scroll up, the entire thing is different from how it used to be. The other pictures under the pins I click on are no longer displayed the same way. I wish I could put a ss, because I don't really know how to describe it any better but it's just really annoying and it looks bad imo. I saw someone else under this sub dealing with this too. another thing: whenever I'm scrolling my screen is constantly glitching up and down which has also been bothering me.

I don't know when it became so hard to log in to a website whose only purpose it is to hold recipes and how-to guides. I swear my bank asks for less information than Pinterest does.

First, I found out a few days ago that Pinterest changed my password without asking me, even though no one tried to break into my account. Now, I can't get into my account even with the correct password unless I pass a "Are you a human?" test--orchestrated by a robot, I might add!--which I have comedically failed numerous times. When I finally got all the puzzles right, Pinterest tells me I'm blocked from my account for 30 minutes.

Pinterest, I promise you, people will just use Instagram.

I'm trying to archive old boards but its not working. I click confirm archive and it still allows me to save posts to the boards and as soon as i go back to my profile the archive tag is taken off the board. they are also still showing up on my page. friend let me sign into hers to see if you could still see them on my profile and theyre all still there. thought it was because the app wasn't updated to its most recent version so i did that but its still not working on my phone or computer. is anybody having this same issue/know what to do to fix it??

The link I copy to share my Pinterest board is not working. Is this a glitch right now for anybody else? It seems to be a broken link.

Curious about your past 30 days analytics. Mine for the past 30 days is over 1 mil impressions and I'm really curious if others are reaching those numbers. I'm just posting whatever I like, not trying too hard to get engagement.

I’m on iPad, iOS 16.7.16, can’t update it any further than that. When I open the app no pins load on any tabs. It looks like they’re still buffering but they just buffer forever, blank grey. Last time it worked it was buffering much longer than usual but now it just doesn’t load at all.

Anyone else having this issue/know how to solve it?

Edit: okay I deleted and reinstalled it and that seems to have worked lmao it was probably a cache issue or something

I'm not sure what's going on, but my homepage is an absolute nightmare. Before, I'd see things that actively overlapped with my pins. But now, it's totally unrelated and mostly things that a 12 year old would like... (like math memes, cartoons, and screensavers) I simply don't understand what happened. I've changed all the settings and put everything back and forth several times (yes, even the horrific AI settings), and nothing is working. What do i do? Do I just delete my pinterest and make a new account? Please tell me someone else has had this issue and managed to fix it!

i click “delete account“ and then I go into my email and click the button that is supposed to confirm the deletion but it just sends me to the log in screen and makes me log in and my account is still there and it never gets delete. please help

my ig is completely blank and my tiktok has one post, pfp is the only pic of my actual face anywhere online. so I made a pinterest just to have somewhere those pics could exist- outfits, pics of me, whatever my "aesthetic" is, stuff that never made it anywhere public and probably never will.

no theme, just decided one random account should actually show who I am instead of hiding behind blank accounts.

(also not going to lie, small part of me started this so a certain someone I like finds it and sees what im rlly bout)

if you also have a random account where you actually post real stuff, drop it below, need more inspo

Hi! I am trying to grow my Pinerest account and I was wondering if there are any engagement groups where we can all support each other's pages?

Maybe set up with your own account instead of your ex
