I stopped using Pinterest about two or so years ago due to how dogshit the service is. I was only on there to look at art and anime shit anyway, but the ads got fucking obnoxious. I'm talking like a page full of ads and content with links to shops or sponsored products, and then have only one real post that isn't trying to sell me something. They frequently emailed me about content not meeting the ToS, even though none of the pins were posted by me, and they usually banned random shit too.
And then AI art started flooding the posts so I would see a page of ads, sponsored content, shops, ai slop, and finally a real post.
I fucked off after that...
