“Lobster tales christmas 23”

Jeffrey M.
3/7/24

Ordered lobster tails on pinterest Christmas 23. Never heard a damn thing. Money was taken 2 days after ordering from my bank account. Still to this day 3/7/24 haven't heard a goddamn thing and yes I am pissed. Pinterest seems to be a place where criminals can play their games. Pinterest needs to do alot better at policing their website. In my book pinterest sucks real bad!

Unable to submit requests to access special topics of interest. Very poorly done Unable to type in requests, when you do pinterest format goes to different topic. Cake central not as aggravating as pinterest.

Pinterest is a great site to find pics that you can't find with the search engines. One downside i've noticed that I can't seem to get help with is the fact that I cannot log in to my account. I've tried typing my details manually, with no success, i've tried logging in with my google account with no success. But, even though i've deleted my facebook account, I think that I WOULD be able to log in with facebook, because just like wish.com, they want your personal details to sell you ads & other unwanted things...

Dispicable actions on behalf of the company lead me to call for banning this hateful site and it's attack on conservatives and free speech. https://twitter.com/Project_Veritas/status/**************?s=19

I was sent a message on May 29th alerting me of my suspension, with no explanation, only that they would be sending an email explaining why. I sent an email to their help desk explaining I was a long time member with thousands of posts, none of which I considered to be against their policy. They acknowledged my email and said I'd get a reply shortly. I have not heard back nor do I expect to. This is not the first time this has happened and I have learned my lesson. They have no regard for their members and their customer service is nonexistent. Never again!

I love interest but since the new version has come out my list in order to pin are in alphabetical order but my boards themselves are not. I can't remember all the board name if you are supposed to type them in to find them. It makes more sense to have them in order to start with.

I collect recipes and conscientiously wrote notes on the pins on hundreds of them which I had cooked and adjusted the ingredients. Then Pinterest hid my notes so I could not easily access them. Then they changed the format and gave us a TRIED button. I used this to easily see what I had cooked and adjusted. I had over 100 Tried notes. Now they are gone and all my hard work lost again. I had 4 Hidden Boards with my personal favourite recipes. They are now removed with no mention so that I had time to save the contents. Pinterest cannot be trusted. I look fwd to someone building a better platform. Pinterest sucks.

Pinterest is completely unfairly censoring Pro-Life & Christian content, for no reason. They labelled all content from LiveAction.org as "porn", which is complete rubbish.
Until they reverse this decision, I am only using Pinterest to promote Pro-Life content - at least until they block me!

I have been using pin for a few years now and the last updates of this app has really made this app worthless! When you click on your activity you can't see who is following you or the people you are following. The letters are all jumbled and you can't read them the only thing I can make out Is what I have saved and what I have tried. It is completely frustrating! I have to delete the app and reload it then it comes up normally but as soon as I leave the sight and go to another app then back to pin it's all screwed up again! If I didn't use this for my recipes I would delete this app all together!

Pinterest is nothing but a place where people nab stuff they like from the internet in order to repost it without second thought. It is VERY unfriendly to creators. If someone reposts your work without linking back to you, that's it. Nothing you can do about it. Good luck sending in DMCA forms, you're going to need many.

I have tried unsuccessfully FOUR times to unsubscribe, as 'advertisement clutter' in my inbox annoys me. There is a place to unsubscribe to Pinterest - apparently no one is paying attention to it!
I order merchandise as I NEED it, not because of ads.
However, I will no longer order anything through Pinterest. This, in my opinion, is poor customer service.

Verified purchase

The recipes and people posting them are not the problem. The website itself is the problem. I understand the website needs advertiser's to pay for the site, but enough is enough. I just spent the last hour trying to print a recipe. Apparently i need to join and subscribe before i was able to print and see full version of recipe…I gave up. I will print recipes i have saved and delete account. It is not worth the frustration. I will find another way to search and print recipes. P.S. Years ago it wasn't like this..

IMO & experience all attempts to Unsubscribe from Pinterest are futile. The site acts like and tells you that you are Unsubscribed, but the UNethical email keep coming. Beware joining this company if you don't want stream of UNwanted emails.

Their pin suggestions are way off. I mean, waaaay off. They send emails at an annoying rate. They used to be a place to collect great images, now they are just links to websites with an image and tons of ads. I used to love them. Not anymore.

I just wanted to look at a few photos from a 60s television show (the Munsters) when I did a google search. As it stands, I need a pintrest account to do so. WHY...? For what? It seems as though "VISUAL DISCOVERY" is their motto... ONLY if you have an account with them. So they can monetize my wanting to look at a few pictures. Cool idea... yeah. So great. NOT...

Love it sooooo much.
There are always easily for me to find charming pictures there.
If I need any picture for an article, I can easily to find a suitable one through Pintrest.
And it is also a good place to share what you like with your friends.
Love it.

The new birthdate requirement is nothing but shameful data mining. Pinterest has no business requiring someone's personal information as a condition for use. In 20 years, we're going to look back at these unethical practices and wonder why we ever let companies get away with this bull$#*!.

Pinterest, I LOVE YOU,. I'm on you every day! Why did you take away the "Like" icon? I'm annoyed because there are things I want to just like and save to my own private area. Please bring it back. And why did you change PIN to Save? It's called Pinterest, not Saveterest... just saying.

When searching for random keywords, guess what. There's Pinterest with an irrelevant link to a page which you can't even view because you're not logged in. It is simply the most annoying website that I know.

This is such a great site--if you're a visual person, you'll love it.

What it does is allow you to collect ("pin"–via a cute "pin it" button placed neatly in your toolbar) everything you love on the web and organize it into categories ("boards"). You can cluster your favourite whatevers (art, photographs, clothes, recipes, interiors, quotes etc) on a pretty little page, which you can share with the rest of the Pinterest world (and whomever chooses to "follow" you), and, in turn, follow any other boards you like, and pick up new "pins" by "repinning."

It's super inspiring, perfect for planning, and it's also great for picking up helpful DIYS and recipes too.

I like Pinterest and all, I think it's fine, but I have two complaints:
1. The constant change of formatting. In the past week, there have been two changes in format, causing me to get confused and save pins to the wrong board.
2. The DOZENS of daily notifications. I'm sorry Pinterest, but I DON'T CARE if someone saved the same pin as me. You don't have to send me a bunch of notifications saying "6 pins from Ideas were saved." I end up having to take a few minutes to clear out my inbox and checking my notifications to see if they are worth looking at, which most of the time they aren't.

But now I'm just sick to death of all the ads that have absolutely nothing to do with what I pin! Hair ads, fashion ads, survey marketing ads and it goes on and on! I deactivated Facebook because of all the crap on that and thought I had Pinterest to fall back on, but alas no. Get your act together Pinterest and start listening to these complaints!
