“Ads — I look for art on Pinterest and 80% of the output was ads when I searched for something. It’s sad. It made me walk away sad and reminded that it’s so hard to be genuinely inspired these days.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“TOO MANY ADS!!! — I see more ads than the actual pictures i’m looking for it’s so bad now :/” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Too many sponsored ads — I was trying to look up some sewing project ideas and had to hide 17 ads before I got to the first real pin. I never even got to the 3rd pin. I gave up. So disappointing.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Keep AI OUT OF OUR APP — KEEP AI OUT” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“LITERALLY Just ads and AI now — Like 3 out of 20 posts are REAL posts from REAL people, not to mention the ai slop “shows” that just play automatically, a lot of it being predatory towards children in nature and disgustingly blatant visuals. Pinterest team, this app is barely usable anymore due to your greed, you get one star too many for ruining what you had.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Pinterest sold its soul — Pinterest used to be my main app for creative processes and inspiration and now it’s just 60% ai slop ads or pop ups trying to redirect you to other sites. the other content in general isn’t even good anymore too. Pinterest lost its class. This app isn’t dependable anymore. Do better” — ★★☆☆☆ · English
