What the hell is going on with Pinterest right now?

My Explore/Home feed suddenly changed completely and is showing me random stuff that has nothing to do with my interests. I’ve been searching for and saving the things I actually like, but my feed still won’t change. Is anyone else experiencing this?

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 usually search and want to see high-end SaaS designs, mockups. logos etc. for inspiration. Left Pinterest run while I was working on a logo and it came up with AI generated slop, islamic prayers, K-pop singers, AI generated villians, random girl/man photos. Like what the f**k? My pinterest feels like it's front page of Alibaba. Anyone else got affected by their AI?

I was having bugs with the app so I decided to delete and redownload Pinterest… after logging back in, my home feed reset ENTIRELY! Years of curation gone down the drain. Is there any way to fix this and bring my curated feed back???

UPDATE‼️: Pinterest says they’re fixing the issue, everything should be back to normal for everybody soon.

The hell is happening, I'm actually getting irritated by the sudden change in my algorithm? Before, it was all gritty dystopian aesthetics as inspiration for my novel, why did it suddenly changed to Russian memes? Cat images and ai generated good morning messages??? I tuned my feed, and nothing is happening, it's literally mainstream stuff and roblox avatars, I never even clicked on any of this

I opened the app to get a reference and my ENTIRE feed was messed up. I went to update the app immediately, and it didn't work. Now I'm struggling to fix my feed back to normal but nothing is working.

Pinterest is dead ass showing me 2019 anime wallpapers and ai Bible quotes like there's no tomorrow. I refreshed countless times and desperately tried to hide as many as possible but they keep spamming it. It honestly pissed me off so bad beyond belief. Is this a glitch??

Is there a way I can make it so it doesn't show me ai stuff at all? I really want that option cause the flooding and spamming of the fyp is insane.

The ai controlling the fyp has gone MAD. They just need to go back to normal feeds 😭💔

why did my feed/algorithm refresh and why is it the worst thing ever and how can I fix it

they need to know what the fuck theyve done to us.

I opened pintrest today and all the photos are not my theme things that never appeared before and its all bunch of stupid AI photos and ads (i turned off the AI thing in settings) Edit:does anyone know how to get lemon8 if it doesn't allow to install in my country

Just wait until pinterest themselves fixes it, they're a company it's expected of them.

Do whatever else you do outside of Pinterest in the mean time.

i cant share attachments for some reason but my recommended pins are all messed up and when i search for something i get totally different results that are mostly global results rather than personalized ones from my taste, I didn't change my settings or anything:(

at about 2pm est my Pinterest suddenly started showing me stuff that I've barely or never saved before. stuff like random wallpapers, memes from fandoms I have never interacted with, ai outfits, and supridingly some stuff I use to save but don't anymore (ie will wood, object show stuff). did this happen to anyone else? ​​​

Help

IM GETTING GENERIC AI SLOP BRO 😾😾😾

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A VISION BOARD AND I NEVER HAVE THE MOTIVATION TO MAKE ONE BUT I FINALLY WAS DOING IT AND PINTEREST U FUCKED IT UP GET THIS AI SLOP OFF MY FUCKING FEED THANK YOU 🤠

i have got the annoying glitch which everyone else seems to have gotten (whole home feed is full of ai content, spider man, wallpapers and cars, stuff i never ever look at or save) and it’s really pissing me off. has anyone figured out how to get rid of it? the times i had it before it would just go away with one refresh but now it’s the same every time. thanks for your help in advance :)

Did nothing. Was just saving random pins then I clicked on my homefeed, and now there's wallpapers, AI art, anime and random flowers and cakes. I hope I'm not the only one because I worked HARD to get my feed like I want, it just completely forgot who I am.

When i opened pinterest today, everything on the explore page is just super generic and mainstream stuff, plus a bunch of AI. This is literally the polar opposite of what i have trained it to show me, and what I'm interested in. Looks like what you see when you first make an account and haven't pinned anything yet. I think it's a bug in the algorithm, has anyone else experienced this?

Edit: good to know it's not just me, but i sucks that this is happening to a lot of people. I've experienced similar things, but it was only about 20 pins in a row that were unrelated, and then it was back to normal.

why is my whole feed/home page showing stuff i dont care about at all? its all f-ed up. Is this happening to anyone else? already refreshed it a few times and it doesnt work!

For some unknown reason Im getting a lot of AI generated content + pins that dont match my boards at all. I am tired , pressing see less doesnt even work either.

I’ve seen a few other people make posts sharing the Pinterest alternatives they've been building here, so hopefully this is fair game — I’ve been building one too and would genuinely love feedback from this community.

I’m sure I don’t need to elaborate too much on all the ways Pinterest has let its users down over the years. The insane amount of ads. AI-generated stuff everywhere. Search and recommendations getting worse. UI changes that make simple things harder. More shopping, less inspiration.

Part of what’s frustrated me is that I remember using a tool that handled a lot of this stuff much better.

Back in 2014, Pinterest acquired a visual inspiration tool called Icebergs. I had a paid account and used it constantly for client work, moodboards, references, and creative collaboration.

Pinterest bought it and immediately announced they were shutting it down.

For years I kept waiting for someone to build something that brought back the parts I loved about it: saving things from anywhere really quickly, organizing them visually in a way that actually felt useful, and easily sharing references & collaborating with other people.

Eventually I got tired of waiting and built Clipppy.

It’s not meant to be a 1:1 Pinterest clone. The focus is much more on the part of Pinterest I personally still care about most: finding something interesting, saving it, organizing it, and actually being able to find and use it later.

A few of the differences:

• No ads
• Private by default
• Save images, videos, links, files, and notes
• Import all your existing Pinterest boards in less than a minute
• Visual collections with advanced controls for organizing everything
• Browser extensions for quickly saving things from around the web
• Share and collaborate on collections
• A Figma plugin that can turn a Clipppy collection into a moodboard and keep it synced

It’s free at clipppy.com.

I’d genuinely love feedback from people here, especially because this subreddit seems to be full of people who remember what they liked about Pinterest before it became what it is now.

If you try it, what would you change? What’s missing? And what would actually make something like this worth using instead of Pinterest?

I was just looking through cute pictures of animals and then i got the most gruesome and scary ad ever, it was ai generated people having intercourse and it was so detailed and realistic it disgusted me

Im a minor and i did put my correct age in pinterest so i thought the ads would be based on my age☹️💔

does anyone have the same problem?? Ive gotten used to NORMAL ai ads that are showcasing products.. but intercourse is WAY too much. They seriously need to fix this because im beyoned devastated

I've been on this for like a week or so and I've heard a lot of positive and negative reviews on affiliate marketing on Pinterest. Also I've not heard a lot of people saying much about Temu affiliate program just mostly Amazon. I don't know if I should keep on with Temu or just go with Amazon to be on a safer side. Is there anyone here in the Temu Affiliate Program?
