the truth about pinterest (& better alternatives)

[@lydiab.4838]

Not only the ads but ALSO the ai images... I only want to use references that are made by real people and all I get are ai landscapes, ai drawings, etc 😅

[@Archimedes-v2o]

[@Toni_Snark]

[@dead1097]

not a perfect solution , but ; when using google (and some other search engines ) you can put " Before:2020 " and it filters out SOME of the AI

YES, there is a LOT of A.I. generated images on there....

[@jasmine_milkyflower]

SO TRUE!!!

[@SkyeSoleil]

What I’m tired of is my pins getting “violations” for things they clearly aren’t. Like SH and adult content. Bestie, that’s someone’s hand in different poses 😭

[@taurustramp]

And then what’s so crazy is I have seen like visual violations, like 🍒 and not in an artistic, anatomical, or informational way. And I’m a black women, and there’s times where I’ve seen a violation for a black woman doing something way less provocative than a white woman, yet the pin with a black women will be violated. Just an observation.

[@thylascene]

A friend of mine got a violation for an image that was legit just a shoe reference, this thing is wild smh

[@randalalansmith9883]

The feed will send me things that it later flags as Grown Up. And it will send me a *warning* for re-pinning content that was already on the network. A year after that, I saw that some panes had a screen across them. And so you click to see the content. I had decided that they have figured out how to include Grown Up, and filter for it. But no. They sent me a warning about re-pinning that content.

[@honeydewgurlfriend]

I got in trouble for pinning an artistic, not at all sexual picture of someone in a bath, where the water was completely opaque, only the person's head was out of the water 😐

[@jjk_death_note]

I use pinterest and I see things like "I want gojo to spank me" and "I want light yagami to write my name down" and "life is short, make it shorter” and the comments are even more freaky and it never gets banned 💀 that’s what I love about the app, because that’s my humor

[@ayumiliyon749]

One of the things I am grateful for is that there are no ads on apps here in Ethiopia, yet. Not on KZbin, not on Pinterest, and others.

[@RyanMalmDesign]

The problem with all the alternatives is that once any one of them reaches a critical mass of users they'll start pumping it with more advertisements. Such is the way of the world where the only thing that matters is extracting time, wealth, and energy from the working class and funneling it upward. Thank you for this video though, I too have become sick of how bad the ads have gotten on Pinterest and the alternatives are great, while they last.

[@yently]

not just the ads but all the ai content is making me go crazy

[@lain-or-shine]

I've been downloading and saving all my boards and images from Pinterest (for personal reference only) because they have gone fully crazy deleting images and flagging accounts for literally nothing. Hate the ads, hate the AI, hate the constant repetition. They've ruined the website trying to make it "friendly to advertisers." I'm nearly done and then I hope to never bother with that website again. Thanks for these other options!!!

[@vickydelfosse]

How do you download boards? I did it a few years ago but now the download option seems to have gone. I have so many k's of images there is no way to just save it all.

[@facs3003]

When I started using Pinterest on my browser with my Adblock on I was so shocked to see literally half the page was blank… half of the things I was seeing were ads. Thanks so much for these recs! A lot of these seem a bit less led by trends which I really like as well!

[@vzoen6015]

This! Its like half the page has huge gaps in from the ads. Its pretty much the only way i tolerate pinterest anymore though

[@grreeeeee]

how does anyone use the internet without adblock

[@elle1107]

Exactly. Desktop is the only way I can use the site.

[@TKv96]

Same! The huge blocks of white background really show just how many ads they’re pushing

[@vavva_]

Do you know of any ad blockers I can use?

[@sharpeningtheaxe]

It really adds insult to injury that these companies are all collecting my data and tracking my activity in order to advertise to me, and yet still almost exclusively show me ads that would never be relevant to me. A huge percentage of my ads on Pinterest are for foods I literally can’t eat due to health restrictions and it genuinely just feels cruel. At this point I would happily pay a subscription for websites/apps if it meant I could have a decent and ad-free experience, but unfortunately they can make way more money off of ads and so most would never even offer that alternative.

[@bunnyellabell]

same! i get alcohol ads even though i don't drink. i get meat ads even though i'm vegetarian. i get diaper ads even though i'm gay and don't want kids. i don't want to be advertised to at all, but geez....

[@__loveball]

happily paying for subscriptions shouldn’t be the alternative to being bombarded to death with ads, subscriptions are getting out of hand and the constant increase of their price. Paying for something that you don’t own. I think ads are fine as long as it’s a reasonable amount. Making the website/app unusable unless the subscription is paid is scammy.

[@ritaamor283]

Yes, the ads they show me on Pinterest are so off my taste, specially the videos ones, that I just close the app😢

[@JP-ve7or]

KZbin should know me better than anyone, but some of the ads I get are insane. There is one particular company I want to block outright, but they don't let you, and they have over 300 ads! When I try, it asks if I want to see less of a category which usually has nothing to do with the company. I THINK some advertisers just pretend to be all these things to reach as many people as possible. It's so frustrating.

[@petitewhimsies]

If you click on the 3 dots and choose to hide it it will teach the algorithm not show it. You will do it a few times, but take action don't let the ad pass or will teach the algorithm you are the ad's audience

[@artemisiou]

I don’t like Pinterest anymore because it’s absolutely littered with ADS and AI images. I’m an artist and I need real life anatomy references or other REAL HUMAN-MADE artworks for references. Ai is always wrong in terms of anatomy, lighting and physics which seems like it could severely impact my growth as an artist.

[@EmL-kg5gn]

Yes, even if you don’t copy from it! Seeing it all the time probably influences people’s intuitive sense of what things should look like for the worse 😞

[@MaryDeanDotCom]

I think it's important to collect your own thoughts, in addition to collecting ideas. Card files are great for this. When you find something inspiring, get in the habit of jotting down a few ideas for using it in your own work. "Embroider flowers like this on hem of linen dress?"... "Maybe use this color scheme to posterize that photo of dog on boat"... "this pattern would add depth to encaustic mountain background". Otherwise your inspirations just go into a black hole and often you can't even remember why you liked something

[@róisínanne]

absolutely! i casually draw fashion designs in my free time, i have a pocket-sized sketchbook and i will often sketch or take a little note of elements i see in real life that i like and want to include/expand upon in my designs :)

[@WishyWashyMaybe]

In the Old Days😮, when magazines were delivered to your house, I would note something on a page, rip out the page and put into a file folder and add to it. This was called " a morgue". I still have mine. It's full of craft ideas, home decor folder, fonts, gardens... The "morgue" is tangible, something I can hold and study, put the idea on a focus board. I am very please that you've researched more places for me to get ideas. I hate that pintrest makes me sign in to instagram or Facebook or whatever because I don't have an account there. Nevermind the waste of time signing in every time. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😊

[@lesleyegbert4807]

I know we're moving away from Pinterest in this video, but there is a useful feature on Pinterest for this. They call it note to self. You'll have to view the pin after saving it to add your note, but I use note to self to solve this problem pretty regularly. 100% agree on the value of analog note-taking, though.

[@kimberlyechols7280]

Pinterest is just not as fun as it used to be, there are way too many ads and mostly obnoxious or vulgar. I really appreciate you sharing this information. I can't wait to check out these sites. I am kind of a Pinterest addict for anything arts or crafts. Earlier this year, they took my board away from me for too many violations of pins that are not allowed. They wouldnt even tell me what the pins were to give me a clue. How am I supposed to know what is and isn't allowed when the site is flooded with things that you would think are copyright infringement. I lost tens of thousands of pins that I had been saving for years and had to start all over again, and it still ticks me off. I had so many pins, that I had over 5,000 followers, now I have none. I don't even get the the recommendations for other pins like I used to. Makes me sad, all the time put into saving them. Anywho, I'm glad to find alternatives, so thank you. ❤

[@VultureSkins]

My biggest Pinterest gripe is their search function. There’s no way to specify “this” NOT “that” like with Boolean, or ways to filter. Particularly for AI generated content, now that it’s becoming more common. Plenty of places have implemented a filter for AI content, and at least have the option to specify that something was made partially/fully with generative AI. Pinterest’s UI/UX overall has just fallen so far behind

[@waterfall5660]

THIS IS SO TRUE. It makes the experience MISERABLE. I used to be a Pinterest addict, and I got so sick and tired around 1-2 years ago.

The first 24 hours after I downloaded the app on my phone it was entirely wonderful suggestions exactly to my design taste. 24 hours later it was all ads. I went on Reddit and found a suggestion to click “hide” and select “this is irrelevant to me” on every ad you see. Then shut the app and re-open. Now that I’m in the habit and the algorithm is learning that I hate these and will never click, I have to go on an ad hiding spree about once a week to keep my feed nearly ad free. I treat it like weeding a garden.

It's gotten to the point where I can't even save animal references without finding some fake AI bats!

Thank you for this! I quit Pinterest over a year ago, it was too frustrating. I’m looking forward to checking out these alternatives.
