Watching them scroll through the page in the original video was depressing. The ratio of actual content is 10%. (TikTok screencap)
Pinterest was garbage before ai too.
First website I ever went out of my way to block from search results.
I tried so hard, but could never manage to block all their domains. Pinterest is the sole reason I dug very deep into ad blockers’ settings and lost so much time trying to forever shut them up, to no avail.
I never understood that site.
You actually have to put in work to customize your feed.
Pinterest was always shit. I dont understand why it got so popular.
Hijacking the first six pages or so of google image search results?
Don’t even remind me… Jesus… 😄 want an image? Here you go, sort it out from all the slop.
people like images

Do you have a link perhaps?
Most TikTok links work in the browser, so you don’t need to download anything.
Sadly not in this case:
This post is age-protected for some audiences. Use the app to make the most of your experience.

in defence of Pinterest, it’s like any other social media with an algorithm. Once you get it used to what you’re interested in it’s a far better experience than signed out normal recommendations. You just have to put in the time.
this is my homepage:

no ai, no ads. Compare it to how horrible the YouTube homepage is.
here’s one of my boards:

essentially everything I post on Lemmy (over 200 posts combined with my .world account) is from Pinterest or Instagram
here’s two examples from today alone: https://sh.itjust.works/post/52987863
https://sh.itjust.works/post/52988495they added liking to images (not just videos anymore!) and cool image collages
I think I need more details on that first image 🧐
Late stages of being terminally online
I think they don’t follow our interests
If they use AI they become our ain’terests
that’s pinteresting
I’ve been checking out cosmos as an alternative! No AI as far as I could see, it was refreshing & there’s an app! I presume itll only get better :3 goodbye Pinterest my old friend
Could you explain about Cosmos? It just said it’s an AI tagging app. Does it have content to review or just a saving tool? I’ve got a bazillion notebook apps but only Pinterest lets me browse text-free for any length of time.
I joke Pinterest is the only app that doesn’t make me cry but it’s because I can work for hours before being interrupted by text boxes or intrusive text ads.
Does it load for you on Firefox? Seems to get stuck at 97%
Same issue here, also stuck at exactly 97%.
Nothing of value is lost.
