The search function on Pinterest is completely useless now. At this point I am not sure why I am still on this app as it has become useless now. It is impossible to search for anything and find what you're looking for. The results are filled with pins you were looking at a few seconds before the search. Pins that are completely irrelevant to the search.
If I pinned a picture of a Townhome and searched for coffee cups, they will fill the search with that same townhome picture, AI townhouses and lots of ads. If you get some relevant pins then it is always AI. What is worst is that it is the same 3 AI pins that will be repeated over and over again in your search. It is so insane because I will hit hide pin due to irrelevancy and will find the same AI pins 5 times when scrolling further smh.
You used to be able to find exactly what you were looking for on this app. Even the similar pins recommended under pins have nothing to do with the pin in question. It's all a repeat of your feed with loads of AI and ads.
Exactly what is the purpose of Pinterest now? Pinterest is officially irrelevant and useless to me. Just a few years ago, it was the best place to find great interior design inspiration, fashion inspiration, cooking recipes and etc. Why are they destroying their own app?
Even this year, I tried to look for fall/winter fashion inspo and had to eventually quit because it was the same pins on repeat with loads of stuff that had nothing to do with what I am looking for.
Have the people at Pinterest been replaced with AI? Are there any human employees left there? Nothing makes sense anymore and at this point I get so frustrated I want to quit. It feels like a computer is in charge of everything there now.
I'm doing this on Pinterest on my laptop, not an app on cell phone. Previously I was able to click the magnifying glass on pins and see similar pins and images. Now it just shows a long search bar and a blank white screen. Is anyone seeing this happening? Thanks. 😃
Anyone else having trouble with Pinterest when they search something & all it comes up with is ads or links to websites?
Pinterest use to be so good at showing pictures that didn’t involve going to a link or some Amazon ad.
And I do have the ad preference turned off in settings!
i saw in previous reddit posts and concerns about this same issue that has happened. it’s the same issue across all my devices and accounts and even after clearing cache, the pins are not visible when i search. how do we fix this?
