Pinterest Reviews 

Garbage platform, horrible UI. Its dead anyways.

Edit: Its such dog**it, i cant even delete pins or my profile. Nothing works on this thing. Everything is spammy, half of the page consists of popups and buttons to make me pay them to advertise my pins.

Do NOT use this, if you are a business owner. No traffic, only headache.

Pinterest used to be a kind of safe place social media for me, now it’s filled with AI generated content that I can never seem to get rid of and the amount of ads makes it unpleasant to be on. I went into my feed today and tell my why I didn’t even need to scroll out of the 6 pins I could see without doing anything 3 of them were ads, 2 of them being the SAME AD?!?!!! WHYYYY. This app is RUINED just like every other social media platform.

They have many adds that are misleading and did not receive items I bought 2 times. They used Amazon fake add to make you think it's real. Was charged on debt from Hong Kong, China. No way to track them and shipping company lied and said they were delivered. Worst site ever.

full of AI slop, ads, glitches... gotten sososo much worse, unusable

Order was small. $$..but angry that Pinterest supports fake adds

I used to enjoy Pinterest but it now has two issues. In the last year the number of adverts has increased to such an extent that you will see almost as many ads as suggestdd pins. If that was already bad enough some ads e.g Temu use images that appear like pins but actually then take you to their website. This brings us to second problem - lots and I mean LOTs of these ads are fraudulent. Either the advert is misleading or it links to known scam websites. Some of these are quite subtle. Pinterest is "Working on this" but the last 12 months would suggest otherwise. I would avoid Pinterest until this is properly addressed.

Pinterest has been ruined! It used to be a great place to find cool ideas but it's changed so much that I don't even enjoy going on anymore. Way too many ads. Way too many links to other sites that don't even relate to the photo you were interested in. Even the feed is just showing me the same things I've already seen. Whoever thought these "improvements " were good should be fired. PLEASE bring back the old Pinterest!!

Very bad app not connecting

FRAUDULENT ADVERTISEMENTS FULL STOP.
I PURCHASED A BOSE CD PLAYER. NEVER DELIVERED. SUPPOSED TO BE FROM AMAZON. THEY OFFERED 30% BACK BUT I NEVER RECEIVED THAT EITHER

Things are getting ridiculous!
They keep removing pins on baseless grounds. Flagging images for adult content when there’s absolutely nothing adult about it.
I’ll be leaving soon… it’s starting to get unbearable!
Also all ai slop and ads!

This site does nothing to vet their advertisers for their integrity, shipping, and overall customer service. Always only buy from Amazon never use the Pinterest site to purchase. These fools won't even let you complain directly to Pinterest. In fact of the 50+ reviews none had been resolved. Stop using Pinterest let them go broke.

I’ve been a Pinterest user for over 10 years, but the platform has become unusable. What used to be a beautiful space for inspiration is now flooded with ads (easily 90% of what you see is sponsored content), on both mobile and desktop. On top of that, the feed is overrun with low-quality AI-generated images that add no real value. The quality of organic, genuine pins has dropped drastically, and it’s nearly impossible to find real inspiration anymore. It feels less like a creative platform and more like a shopping mall full of fake imagery. Really sad to see what it’s become.

I would do a zero star but u wont let me back in my account and telling me to wait flipping 30 mins u get get right out mate I don’t know who u think u are u will be hearing from me I’m gonna try call
So I’m sueing u -99999999999999999999999999999 stars like get a grip

A bloated, ad-ridden monopoly.
After a full year of watching this app, I can confidently say it’s only gotten worse. The UI is lacking, the resource usage is way too heavy, and the platform is absolutely crowded with ads. If you run into issues, don't expect customer support to help you. It feels like they’ve stopped caring because they know they have a monopoly on this specific niche. The only thing keeping Pinterest alive right now is its lingering popularity.

"Aren't they even notice?"

They likely notice the metrics, but they are prioritizing monetization over user experience. In tech, when a platform reaches maturity, engineering teams are often pushed to maximize ad revenue and cut costs (like customer support) to please shareholders, even if it makes the app heavy and annoying for the everyday user.

"Is this a monopoly?"

Practically speaking? Yes, it's a "natural monopoly" in its specific niche.

While platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or Google Images compete for your attention, nothing quite matches Pinterest's exact functionality as a visual bookmarking tool and mood-board creator.

Because there is no direct, massive competitor doing exactly what they do, they suffer from "Enshittification"—a tech term for when a platform knows its users have nowhere else to go, so it starts degrading the user experience to squeeze out more ad dollars. You hit the nail on the head: they survive on sheer popularity and the fact that users are locked into their ecosystems.

If you create an ad in Shopify with a $100 credit they don't tell you can't cancel from shopify. They make it difficult to cancel even when the app is removed you will continue to be billed. There are 3 days between each ticket response and the billing continues throughout. NEVER START A CAMPAIGN.

Pinterest has now teamed up with Google ads so that your Pinterest home screen is flooded with ads for tiktok and stupid games on the Google Play store. And they are all moving images which you can't turn off even if you have the pinterest autoplay turned off. Nor can you report them to Pinterest for being offensive or inappropriate. Another ruse to make money at the expense of the user experience.

When t to buy a pressure nozzle from a company called lenovogo fortunately I looked at reviews regarding the site and found it was another of many scam sites advertising on Pinterest if you see things that you might want to purchase on Pinterest check reviews very closely this site is infested with scam ads

Pinterest blocked my domain as spam, even though my website does not violate any rules. I tried to resolve the issue, but support was not helpful and the domain is still blocked. Very disappointing experience and poor support.

The value of being able to save things that are important to me. I ca return again and again. Free patters and ideas abound. I can really go there and be with contributors, in things I am so interested in myself, get new ideas, not stuck in my own ideas,!!!!
