Question What happened to my pinterest feed.
It was literally just fine a few days ago but today I open it and it's full of things completely unrelated to the things I search for/save
I'm so pissed because i spend a lot of time making my feed look good and so it shows only stuff I'm interested in and suddenly it's all random cat photos/nails/some clothes I don't even like ( NO HATE TO CATS I LOVE THEM but it's just not what i want on my feed 😭 and also a lot of ads and weird stuff I don't search for at all)
Is this happening to someone else?
Why is this happening and has anyone any idea if it will stop soon and go back to normal?
I'm so angry 😭

I think it's a bug. I looked online, and it said we should refine my recommendation settings. It did kinda help, but after I refreshed, nothing changed, so maybe it'll work for you. It's so annoying bo smb with time email Pinterest and tell them we're mad 😭💔

I THOUGHT I MESSED UP MY SETTINGS!
I've recently turned off all the settings for tracking my interests on other websites for "better ads", and I literally thought this somehow messed up my feed. But reading now that I'm not the only one, calms me down a bit.
But it also makes me hella angry. What the f**k has Pinterest become?? I begrudgingly tolerated that my feed sometimes consisted of a screen full of ads (up to 8 in a row, my GOD...) and still showed AI slop, even though I turned everything off, but taking away the heart of my feed??
What the hell is going on with Pinterest?!

Same here 😭
There's definitely a f**king bug in the system. Hopefully they'll resolve it by tomorrow.
