Pinterest

My wife subscribed to this website a few years ago and soon decided the content was of no interest to her. In the past three years we have sent numerous "unsubscribe" notifications to Pinterest which have had no effect whatsoever in stopping or even limiting the number of spam emails we receive from them. We have blocked their email address and sender domain several times but each time they switch to a different one and the spam continues. How desperate is this company to maintain a subscription list that subscribers must retain legal counsel to get off of their mailing list? Be aware that if you subscribe to this website they are virtually impossible to get rid of.
Pathetic!

What a shame this latest update is! There are too many complaints to mention, if I did my head would explode! Pinterest has stopped caring and it doesn't look like they r in any hurry to improve this horrible update! Also pins have been shrinking and the clarity of some are so poor I have either deleted them or won't pin them! I've pinned so little since this crappy update which is a shame on them! The Pinterest experts where always there to help and now it's an automatic respond which is NO help at all! Better fix this or I'll just google instead which is easier!

Awful site. First, it insisted that I signed up for 5 boards, but I was interested in only 1. No one should be forced to sign up for 5 boards (or 4 or 3 or 2) if they are interested in fewer. Second, the layout is confusing - cluttered and no obvious organization. It looks like a collage with no overall impression, except clutter. Third, text when it appears sounds juvenile. Maybe this is fine for teenage girls, but I'm not a kid and find it off-putting.

I too used to love Pinterest and found it inspiring and a good resource for collating ideas for future projects. Now it is just a disappointment. So many ads for products I am not interested in like sexy underwear I would look terrible in and nappy bags for which I have no use unless my teenage sons become incontinent. My feed is no longer a pleasure to peruse and there are so many repeats of pins I have already seen that its a near useless tool. And of course, no where to easily leave feedback on the site. Big thumbs down.

So I got on Pinterest about 2 years ago, and used it to compile ideas on projects, reference material for my art, and many other things. At the time, the site was easy to use and easy to personalize/organize. Since then, with successive updates, the site has become less and less user friendly, inundated with useless advertisements, and as of this very morning, I can no longer see what my friends post unless I click on their pins by chance. It is infuriating and has sapped the joy out of using their website.

I never tried to contact Pinterest until two days ago. All they did was send me the exact same "fix" as they have in their help center, word for word. My boards rearrange themselves. I put them in alphabetical order and next time I log in, they are messed up. Also I spend five minutes trying to get a new board from the bottom to the top. It won't let me drag it more than one row at a time so I am siting here -drag and drop - drag and drop- all the way to where I want it. It does the same on my husband's computer so it's not that. I have tons of photos to put on Pinterest but hate to do them one at a time. Why can't we drag and drop from our own files on our computer. 'We used to be able to' is NOT an answer.Stop asking for my phone number when I log in. You're not going to call me, you won't even address my complaints.

I am disgusted by the way Pinterest treated me, I merely posted pins already on other people's boards about the 80's, with no knowledge of the fact these pics were of a famous model or copy righted, Pinterest told me in emails that the pins were removed but not my fault but then went on to suspend my account. I emailed the copy right holder and explained and she wrote to them removing the complaint. They have never answered my emails or read what she wrote. 6 years of being a user did not matter. User's mean nothing, only advertiser's. They don't care about the time or effort put in. In South Africa we don't have easy internet access and it cost me a lot over the years to build my account. I am disgusted and will not make another account.

They are too sensitive on this site for no good reason. What did I post that was so offensive that booted me off? Like most sites such as this, it is the work of Satan anyway. This site is a bad idea.
