This website is Good And Horrible...They have members coming on there loading up pictures that others think is fine to pin on they page shared...But once you share it they come after you and take down all the pins and threaten to take your profile because of this B.s.They should go after the person who uploading these pictures on this website! Not the person who is sharing the pin...This website is to sensitive and need to grow the Hell up! And find a better solution and banned the members who bringing this b.s on this site...

Pompous Attitude - UNREAL
September 11, 2023

Pinterest literally feels they have the right to tell people how to run their websites. Launched our company on 9/7/23, Knock Off LLC, a cough suppressant. We have everything on sale for the first month of Grand Opening. Pinterest tried to force up to remove the sale status from OUR website. Wanted us to change "Refund Policy" to "Return Policy" on our website. Claimed broken social links, we have none. Bottom line, Pinterest is not a governing body and therefore has no right to tell American's how to run their business, online or otherwise. Not to mention, they're incorrect. Check our site for yourself. There are always other options and Pinterest doesn't have the only game in town. They literally have a holier than thou attitude and I for one will no longer succumb and bend to the will of Social Networks. They DO NOT run this country, we do!

Elimuhub Tuition And Consultants is a great service for tutoring. They have a Pinterest app that lets me advertise, create awareness, book sessions, access materials, and track progress. The app is user-friendly, reliable, and fun. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to improve their grades and confidence.

Buyer beware
August 22, 2023

Just because something is featured on Pinterest don't expect it to be reliable or what you will get when you purchase the item. I purchased a garment featured on Pinterest through a company, Cosfine. The picture looked great, just what I was looking for. What I received is a whole different story. In addition it does not contain a fabric content and laundering label, required to sell in California. Returning it is a joke. It costs more than the garment. It is clear to me that Pinterest does not monitor what it features. Cosfine should be banned. There was no packing slip.

They will shut you down with no explanation.
Used Pinterest for affiliate links to my channel and they suspended my account without justification. It's all ai and there is no one to discuss or reason with. This is the worst platform I have here experienced.

Pinterest deleted 4 of my accounts without my knowledge. I had alot of viewers over 400,000 on one of my accounts and they just erased it. They never said anything to me I just woke up and went to get on and my account had been deactivated. Nobody said a word to me and that very ignorant and wrong of them. They should be ashamed of thereselves calling that a business. That's my account! They just took it. It's just so wrong and im about tired of them. I'm going to make sure my complaint is heard.
They also shouldn't even get a star. As well I havr a photo to share of it and I did none of the such things it mentions.

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$#*!.

Unless you have a question about Pinterest that can be answered by reading general statements about narrow subjects, the "help center" is useless.
Over the past few weeks, I received emails from the Pinterest bot stating some of my PINS had been removed by Pinterest because they violated community standards on "adult content". None of the PINS were specifically identified for me.
Later, I'd receive an email from the bot stating the PIN had been reinstated after review - still NO info on PIN(S) in question - I was advised to read the community standards on adult content to avoid censure. I reviewed those Community Standards - I was even more confused about ANY PIN I have EVER posted that dealt with "adult content".
I tried every avenue I could to contact Pinterest to find out WHICH PINS had been censored.
I found zero way to ask that question.
The "contact form" provided NO path to communicate my questions/comments regarding emails that Pinterest sent me.
That's why I found this site to record my total frustration.
Sad...very sad.

Like many people, scrolling through Pinterest was a way to spend a lazy afternoon. Now, all you get is ads and more ads. If you click on a picture for a recipe or a how-to, you just get "more like this." I'll be going through my recipes and then deleting the account.

I bought a pair of shoes from a merchant showing Clark shoes. When the shoes came three weeks later, they were definitely NOT Clarks. They were some weird sewn together red shoes that did not have a size,no brand name and were way too big. No way to send them back. Pinterest claims to not allow misrepresentation of product but that's a lie. The same shoes are all over the boards, even though I reported them as misleading.

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.

WARNING FOR MERCHANTS, SOONER OR LATER PINTEREST WILL REMOVE YOUR CATALOGUE!
For any other merchants considering joining Pinterest, we advise against it as sooner or later, they may remove your catalogue for no apparent reason.
After nearly two years of being a merchant on Pinterest with over a million monthly views, our store catalogue was suddenly removed due to policy violations. We allocated six months to our dedicated team to thoroughly remove any products that could potentially violate their policies, yet our catalogue was still rejected despite three appeals. Although we believe that our remaining products are suitable for all users, the idea is that they still violate the policy, and they don't give you any reason, you supposed to work it out in your own head, the violation policy is very broad. As a result, we have decided to end our involvement with Pinterest. Perhaps a more astute individual will devise a similar or superior idea, without the unreasonable policies, and the site will eventually decline.

No customer service

I have reached out to them multiple times and have only received an automated message in response that gives no answer to what I was asking. There is no possible way of reaching out to an actual representative.

Birthdate!
April 1, 2023

Suddenly I can't use the site without my birthdate. It won't let me continue. Nope, I'm out. Have a right to share IF I want! You don't get to demand it as a condition of use. Some genius in your marketing department thought privacy was a 20th century idea no one cares about. Finished!'

Account suspended
March 25, 2023

I am 48 year old and for over 10 years I had been using this App. I noticed too many videos instead photos. Too much ads. Not what I used to love from this site. My account was closed and I sent an Appeal for Age Verification and this is what I got, (Based on your appeal materials, we are not able to confirm that you're old enough to be on Pinterest according to our Terms of Service so we have decided not to reactivate your account). I hope there is another app similar to what Pinterest used to offer.
