[@myprofilepictureisafish]

I love Pinterest but the amount of AI art is insane and people are constantly stealing and reposting other people’s works, but instead of removing AI art or stolen art they instead remove art that has the slightest amount of exposed skin for being ‘too sexual’

[@myprofilepictureisafish]

As an example I just went to see what posts have been removed on my pinterest lately and the newest one was a drawing of Marceline and Princess Bubblegum kissing. I get not allowing nudity and stuff on your app but this is insane 😭

[@jouusta]

@@myprofilepictureisafish i kinda wished i touched on that topic because i’ve had that same thing happen to me quite a few times!! the censorship on the app is really weird (°_°)

[@missingtrash]

Oml I also get this problem!! Quite a few times now I’ve been emailed by Pinterest saying that they removed or flagged an image from one of my multiple boards and suggested for me to look at them and remove anything inappropriate. I usually ignored these because, again, I have a lot of Pinterest boards and I’m not looking through all of them just to find something that I know isn’t even inappropriate. Then, every single time, I get an email a few days later saying they reviewed that image they flagged and unflagged it. It’s annoying but I just ignored them and they fixed themselves on their own.

personally i find pinterest's algorithm itself so faulty and obnoxious. if i click on a single picture of a cute girl in a flannel and a beanie for inspiration, i do not want an ENTIRE PAGE filled with girls in flannels and beanies the next time i refresh the page. i want a diverse feed on all the things that interest me, not a stream of the same thing over and over again. honestly as an artist i feel like a prisoner of pinterest cause of how paradoxically on and off convenient/inconvenient it is.

[@KateIsNotAnAlien]

Dude not just art theft but their new issue where if someone deletes their account, and you saved one of their posts, it will say YOU POSTED IT! I’ve gotten several copyright claims from them for things I didn’t even upload, I’m TERRIFIED I’m going to get banned. And most of them weren’t even art, it’s just a pretty picture of a cookie platter that I saved to a board five years ago or something. I hope they change this feature because I’m so scared I’ll get in trouble. Edit: also same goes for the pins that are “against community guidelines”, they send me an email that (basically) says “oh yeah by the way we reinstated it, you’re not in trouble, but if you do this again you may have to ban you.” Like bro, if it’s against guidelines DELETE IT! I’m not going to remember to remove an oddly specific post I saved a month ago.

[@callmebunny]

Same! I get these ALL the time. One time I apparently saved a pin that wasn't uploaded by the original creator of the drawing and then I got an E-Mail saying that the artist can now sue me or some shit, cuz I saved that pin??? How am I supposed to know with every single pin on there if that is the original artist of the drawing uploading it? And I also never posted anything myself on there, but it says also that there's one pin I supposedly uploaded that got taken down. Thanks to your comment I now at least know the mechanics behind that, but that doesn't make any sense. Why does Pinterest hate its users???

[@astraytadpole7689]

they're both websites developed for artists to prevent artwork from being fed to a database in ai art programs. from what I've read, you can upload your artwork to the website and it will edit it slightly to make it harder for ai art programs to steal/ emulate your artwork

my account got deactivated back in 2023, it got re-activated the same day a few hours later but,after a few months, pinterest just makes me invisible to socialize with people. like, if i were to make a comment on a pin or reply to a comment it's INVISIBLE for everyone.. also when i heart pins nd comments it's also invisible and i don't show up. it's so annoying to the point where i had to stop posting on my main acc, nd make an alt just to socialize with people/post. it's like pinterest shadowbanned me from socializing... idk if they banned me because of saving others posts but it's aggravating.

[@diahoney_]

i remember when i had a posted pin where lot's of people were talking on, i replied to lots of the comments but no one replied. i went on my alt and saw that i wasn't even there replying when i was. it's super embarrassing too when somebody asks me something nd i can't reply. ☠️

[@selvi_fang952]

Honestly, while I do hate the sheer number of AI art on Pinterest, one of the other most annoying functions of Pinterest is that you can be flagged down for "breaking the rules" by "posting inappropriate art", without ever actually posting anything on Pinterest. I did some research and essentially, even if you don't actually post something on your own account, if you have saved a pin from someone else and their account doesn't exist anymore or it was deleted, from my understanding of it, YOU can have a pin THEY posted turn into a pin YOU posted on Pinterest. Literally there's no way to fix this I don't think, which is really annoying because honestly why??? AND I HATE THE ADS. My biggest hatred of the app is undoubtedly how many diaper ads there are. Despite not being "inappropriate" they just make me extremely uncomfortable, especially with how the cinematography for the ads goes. I don't know if it's just me who hates the diaper ads with a burning passion, but I can handle most other ads relatively well, it's just the visceral discomfort they give me is unmatched.

Dear lawd Pinterest has really gone downhill since its early days. At least the ads were tolerable or-dare I say-relevant early on. I got a badly photoshopped, uncensored hermaphroditic ad in my feed at one point and sat there baffled for a good few minutes thinking "how the heck did this get approved?!" I don't usually mind nsfw stuff but I couldn't even tell what it was advertising for! And, as other commenters have mentioned, I'm ssooo sick of the pin 'guideline' takedowns. Google collections has also started a similar purge and both are driving me up a wall! Guess it's time to go back to ye old days of saving images to a cloud account or external drive.

[@PreciseSpace]

I haven't been on Pinterest too long but I've noticed the amount of ads just go up and up. When scrolling thru its usually a couple posts, four ads, a couple posts, four ads, etc. Esp when many ads are multiple photos meaning when I try to swipe past them I end up just swiping thru the ad. It's annoying. Also as an artist posting on there I have a really hard time getting my art noticed. On any other platform I don't have too hard of a time getting my stuff seen, but on Pinterest I post pretty regularly and only very few posts ever get any attention at all. Im just not educated on the algorithm ig. Tho one thing I will say that I LOVE about Pinterest is HOME FEED TUNING! Sometimes it gets annoying when I save one post and then get a barrage of the same thing on my home feed, but I can just go into my home feed tuner and just turn off posts from something I don't want taking over my feed. Plus you if you see a post you hate you can just hide it and say "its irrelevant to me" to keep it from popping up again. The amount of control over the content you're shown is amazing.

[@PorplePuma]

4:28 Yo I have never watched your videos before so I just wanna say that your art is SO PRETTY!

[@queen3333___]

the problem with posting art (or anything in general) on pinterest is how when you try to delete a pin, it doesn’t actually delete. i used to post on there sometimes and when i tried to delete my pins they never deleted and this can be a huge problem with art theft.. for example, even if someone steals/reposts art on pinterest and then deletes it, it won’t actually delete, it’ll just stay on the platform forever

[@CitruKori]

To the point made against ads, it is especially noticeable if you have an ad blocker enabled. Often times you’ll scroll down and only see around 2-4 full pins on your screen (on a widescreen computer, no less). If the ads are removed, so much more empty space is staring at you. Current Pinterest makes me not want to scroll down further to find more inspiration. But I still have to love it.

They're gonna take action on my account for SAVING pins that I didn't UPLOAD. And I don't even know what those pins were. What made them think this was a good idea??

[@Skymoc4]

Another thing I'd like to ad on something I don't like about Pintrest is that when you save a an artwork post to folder or accidentally save it, you can't un-save the art/post. The only way to remove it from your folder is to *DELETE THE POST FROM PINTREST!*

About the art theft and ai, I saw a REALLY cute Miku drawing that was STOLEN, and 2 seconds later I found the same exact drawing but AI

[@GwendolynRiddle]

In general i love Pinterest, but the other day I was searching for inspo on a specific clothing style, And every single pin was a.i

[@Livvvin]

THE EDITING IS SO GOOOOOD!! I’m so exited to finish the video! So glad you’re uploading again💗

[@ninalemonz]

This came out AMAZINGGGG !! Thanks for having me! 💜

[@jouusta]

THANK YOU FOR VOICING LINES!! :DD

[@chilynn.cozily]

dude this is so true!!!!!! i used to post tons of art on pinterest back when i was a wee art baby and it was rlly awesome! i love this app yet hate its annoyingness at the same time lol! love the vid tho :3

[@artscribblistudio6362]

This is so well put together! And yes, I agree with all these points especially the AI art. The home page/recommendations are FLOODED now with AI. Its always disappointing when you do find that piece you want to pin and then 2 seconds later find out its not even created by an actual artist.

[@Softlywool]

This made me actually start uploading to pinterest, ive thought about it so so many times, but honestly, same, theres so many little things wrong with it but it truly is my go to place and at worst ive still been able to find the artist via reverse image search

[@aesthetix3398]

Not art related, but I usually enjoy posting my opinions on Pinterest! (Usually considered controversial but doesn’t hurt anyone) and I have noticed they have taken some of my opinions down, or turned my comments off but let people bully others as a "joke".

[@aesthetix3398]

Or after I post my “controversial” opinions they decide to recommend me the opposite of what I agree with, sometimes even showing a meme saying how stupid my political ideology is.. maybe I’m being paranoid but I always click “not interested” and they showed it until I call it out on my page. 🤔

[@aesthetix3398]

ALSO THE ADS!!! They act like you posted a certain post when you didn’t, doesn’t play the audio, the s**** content is disgusting! And ofc the censorship of people’s opinions…

[@REGRETAVOR_ROBLOX]

Art+animation= superior

[@Memecats69]

I love how one of the people that voiced lines in the vid is under 1k! Thanks for supporting the community!!

[@mk-aka-morgan8386]

I don’t get a lot of art on my Pinterest since I usually only use it to look at irl references and bases, so I don’t get any AI on it, I didn’t realize it was a big issue on Pinterest. Art theft has been WAY more obvious, especially since so many of my artists friends have dealt with it 😔😔😔

[@zamboozle3741]

oh goodie, i've been waiting for a video like this. you covered the art theft, sure, but there's another layer to it. if someone has the slightest inkling to go looking for the source of an image on pinterest (without the original post being from there) with something like reverse image search, the results are positively CLOGGED and CLUTTERED with exclusively pinterest results, thus burying the original post under pages and pages of pinterest links

[@katie9646]

unrelated but I love your voice it's so comforting!! hope that's not weird haha. thanks for your amazing videos :)

[@sylvianimates]

im suprised nobody mentioned pinterest turning comments off your post, it's become an actual problem for me, like they do this with EVERY single post i make

[@StaticLlama]

I didn’t hate Pinterest until yesterday. THEY WON’T TAKE DOWN LITERAL R34. I was searching up a ship I shipped when I was little to show my friend and there was a literal R34 image of them, not to mention the characters are kids. And I don’t mean just inappropriate. Parts were shown. They weren’t doing anything but still what?? I reported it FOUR TIMES and it still isn’t taken down. Not to mention all the pins I got in trouble for saving because it’s inappropriate when there’s nothing wrong with them. WHOEVER IS REJECTING MY REPORTS NEEDS TO BE FIRED.

[@rindrr]

My experience as an artist has only been positive but the amount of Ai art is abundant.

[@CursedChildOfTheFae]

I made a side account for school projects and within a week they sent me an email telling me that someone was concerned for my mental health 💀💀

[@thewhisper8798]

SAME but it was just a meme 😭

[@strry_night]

One thing that happened to me (that I was surprised, yet somewhat glad to not hear mentioned) is Pinterest would recommend me NSFW pins even though I didn’t even look that stuff up. My account is set to my actual age too (I’m under 18) so it’s even weirder they’re pushing that stuff to me. Luckily they’ve mainly stopped doing that, but it’s still weird.

[@AprLii1073]

fr like i wanted to get some cute innocent pictures of my fav character and next second i'm traumatised for the 265th time

[@nicholasonema6162]

I can't believe the KZbin algorithm didn't show you to me earlier! I love your videos

[@BlitzBlotz24]

0:15 so nobody gonna talk abt the six fingers? 🧍‍♂️

[@LonksAdventures]

Man I’ve had so much of my work reposted on Pinterest without credit 😅 It doesn’t usually bother me but I’ve seen people trace/steal my art or repost it on other sites and when asked to credit the artist they double down and say their wasn’t a link since they found it on Pinterest- It feeds the cycle of reposting which is annoying but hey at least I get to laugh at peoples bad attempts ate tracing :D

[@Mintyink]

Loved your video!! You made some excellent points, it's definitely been frustrating seeing the rampant ai, theft and ads, but even with it's flaws it's still a great platform ♥️

[@Tipsy_Turby]

NAH BC THE ART THEFT IS SO REAL LIKE BRO PLS JUST CREDIT THE ARTIST + DON'T REPOST PEOPLES ART WHEN THEY SAY THEY DONT WANT IT REPOSTED--LIKE BROOooo

[@tanukifox8041]

FR AND THEN PEOPLE WILL COMMENT 'who is the artist?' AND THEYLL JUST GO 'idk go find it yourself' LIKE IT WOULD BE THAT HARD TO JUST CREDIT IT AND SAVE ME AN HOUR OF REVERSE SEARCHING 😭😭😭😭

[@ValCalExtra]

Personally, I will use AI art as a reference for character design and occasionally colors and style inspo. Obviously, I dont like its existence but if it's there and I find it useful, I might as well use it. Steal back from stealers!

[@sage.81]

My biggest issue with Pinterest is that I get like 15 emails a day saying "you'll love these pins"

[@luzdoesart]

i really enjoyed this video! this is the first video ive seen of you and its really fun to watch!

[@Tunnelvisionontop]

Yay omg I get to watch this before school

[@rdzdoodles8592]

generative AI was a mistake

[@YourLocalAnimeWeeeb]

Love the editing! The quality of your videos is improving so much!

[@ShutmeowUp]

Once I was scrolling through pinterest for art ideas and motivation and I kid you not, there were pins seemingly pointed at each other that were fighting or sounding like they were hating on the other pin and I was flabbergasted.

[@garulouie]

Honestly you do sponsors in one of if not the most tolerable way i've seen. Some people do "subtle sponsor transitions" and I hate it

[@-memiruna-6313]

As a person who wants to become a programmer when I grow up I support the concept of AI being used to make people's lives easier, but I am fully against people using AI for creating art. I think artificial intelligence should be used in other domains like medicine accountancy and marketing and I believe that people using it to create art is not a crime (for example that trend where people use AI to see how they would look like as an animated character) but using it to create art that you then proceed to upload on a platform from the world wide web just seems unfair to the artists that spend hours to create a work that a computer can create in a few seconds.

[@sleepy_cloud2501]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Like thank you for bringing up the ai problem with Pinterest. It’s everywhere on my feed even though I never save it and always click uninterested. It’s even there when I’m trying to have archive photos for fashion inspiration.

[@katekobayashi590]

Pinterest deleted or banned my acc because of some meme with fnaf. I didnt even get an email if i could delete it! I emailed them. And nothing. I'm so sad. I had that acc for a long time. :((((

[@idontknowwhattocallmyself912]

can we just talk about the insane amount of cursed ships on there??? I know this might be an expected thing but I mean COME ON A WENDY X CAPTAIN HOOK???

[@Wiss_ayaki_offical]

Love Pinterest but I see too much suggestive drawings of underage characters whenever I try finding a reference especially of nezuko

[@eightdy]

i have so much respect for people who post the names of the artist in pinterest comments, its beautiful

[@shalomarecool]

Pinterest does have short form content 😒 I literally see a picture of chat noir and then it starts playing a edit

[@simplylily7819]

Honestly as an occasional Pinterest user I kind of like the ads. When I open Pinterest its usually for a specific purpose, but then I see all these really great posts that I just have to save. The ads help to break that up and stop me from scrolling and saving too much. And they don’t actively interrupt your use on the app, like Spotify ads. I DESPISE Spotify ads so much omg they make my blood boil

[@R4INB0WSGL4M]
