    Yes it was, we need to stop doing this where AI ruins something and we go “well it was never good” yes it was, that’s why it got popular. AI is running the Internet

      No. No it wasn’t. Pinterest bombards you with irrelevant images, tries to get you to click on as many things as necessary without making clear what is an ad or not, then forces you to create an account on their platform to view anything.

      That’s not even going into how it hosted artwork from other artists and never gave sources or credit, or had advertisements that used stolen art.

      Pinterest was absolute trash. Has always been absolute trash. And its AI implementation doesn’t particularly change how trash it is.

      When I used to use Google, and then later with DuckDuck Go, I used plugins which allowed me to filter out certain domains from search results, specifically to get rid of all the Pinterest results.
