I love Pinterest but the amount of AI art is insane and people are constantly stealing and reposting other people’s works, but instead of removing AI art or stolen art they instead remove art that has the slightest amount of exposed skin for being ‘too sexual’

I love Pinterest but every single day I get a email saying I “violated their guidelines” when the pin isn’t even mine!

I HATE THE "audio not available in your location" FEATURE IT MAKES ME WANNA RIP MY HAAIR OUT

I keep getting emails from Pinterest saying they removed a pin for violating guidelines 😭😭 how are they going to expect me to fix that when they don’t tell what the pin was, or the guidelines it went against 🤧🤧

personally i find pinterest's algorithm itself so faulty and obnoxious. if i click on a single picture of a cute girl in a flannel and a beanie for inspiration, i do not want an ENTIRE PAGE filled with girls in flannels and beanies the next time i refresh the page. i want a diverse feed on all the things that interest me, not a stream of the same thing over and over again. honestly as an artist i feel like a prisoner of pinterest cause of how paradoxically on and off convenient/inconvenient it is.

I swear every day I open pinterest it has somehow gotten worse 😭 My feed is like 50% ads, 10% horrible AI stuff and 40% actual cool art refs/inspo/tutorials

Pinterest, my beloathed.

Honestly my anatomy pins keep getting flagged for violating adults content like everyday then a picture of a hallway got flagged, this can't just be happening too me if Pinterest cares about artists why does it seems to hate not even artistic nudity but just out lines of the body!

you know AI is bad when i looked up “color bird reference photography real life” on pinterest and STILL got AI

The art theft is REAL lmao SO much art is posted a ton of times! And i try so hard to find the real artists!! And i think some people obviously don't do that and the artist doesn't get any recognition 😭but i do think it is a REALLY good app for references and also other art tips and inspo <3

Dude not just art theft but their new issue where if someone deletes their account, and you saved one of their posts, it will say YOU POSTED IT! I’ve gotten several copyright claims from them for things I didn’t even upload, I’m TERRIFIED I’m going to get banned. And most of them weren’t even art, it’s just a pretty picture of a cookie platter that I saved to a board five years ago or something. I hope they change this feature because I’m so scared I’ll get in trouble. Edit: also same goes for the pins that are “against community guidelines”, they send me an email that (basically) says “oh yeah by the way we reinstated it, you’re not in trouble, but if you do this again you may have to ban you.” Like bro, if it’s against guidelines DELETE IT! I’m not going to remember to remove an oddly specific post I saved a month ago.

something i find infuriating about pinterest is that i'll get emails from them saying "one of my pins" (a pin i saved) got removed for whatever reason, with the option to appeal... AND THEY DON'T SHOW YOU A PICTURE? they used to show a blurred out version of it that you could use inspect element or right clicking to see but now it's just straight up nothing?? does anyone else have this problem?

Why is nobody talking about the Spotify song codes at the beginning of the video, I didn’t think I would be getting rickrolled while watching an art rant about Pinterest 😭

One of the most annoying things to me is when people repost art and then put in the description something like "Credit to original artist! *blushy emoji*" Like, how does that help anything whatsoever? Almost makes it worse because clearly they know they should be crediting the artist but just refuse to do it.

TO ALL ARTISTS pls use glaze and nightshade for your works to prevent from AI stealing it

My biggest issue with Pinterest is the awful censorship and the ai. But specifically, I’ve had so, SO MANY drawing references that get “removed for violating terms of service”. Aka blobby human shapes (with nothing inappropriate) being flagged as inappropriate. It’s so bad!

I hate how Pinterest won’t let you search anything with the word “girl.” I guess it’s too hard for them to figure out what that is 😂

i actually just got deactivated from pinterest because they didn't tell me which pins i saved that went against guidelines (i never save nasty or shocking stuff, and its usually all real life body references) so the timing of this video being shown to me is perfect. i too, jouusta, have hella beef with pinterest. the struggle is embarrassingly real

One of my biggest complaints is my fear of being banned for saving OTHER PEOPLE’S posts. Multiple times a week I get an email saying a post I saved was removed and that there’s a chance that my account could get deleted if it happens again. And it’s always for something stupid like artistic nudity or even no reason. Luckily, they review these and usually the posts get put back up, but man I get scared.
