Pinterest is ruined by the ads
Pinterest used to be a safespace for me. It helped a lot with managing my creative ideas, and containing my hobbies and all. It has helped with a lot of anxiety and stress management. I always enjoyed browsing amongst all the pictures. Not mainly the stereotipical "pinterest girly" kind of stuff, but niche fashion and outdoorsy stuff, hobbie ideas, art and so much more.
And lately all of this has changed. First, all the ai content, the visibly not man made art, and later the ads.
Now, the feed is full of ai shows playing, other ads beeing promoted, ads for furniture and links to all kinds of products. And 6 out of 10 pins are these, and not the actual content i would usually be there for.
In the beninging (hope you get this easter egg here hehe) i practiced patience, and hoped that i just have to refresh my for you/feed. But lately, my enthusiasm has left me. It is just too much.
It isn't fulfilling anymore as in it doesn't help me with the stuff it used to. Unless i specifically search for something, the ads just take over. I cannot really brows or surf for ideas, cause there either ain't any new or hardly any aroud all the ads.
So, is it just me being way too dramatic and consumerist or do anyone else also have the same kind of experience?
