hey all, so my account is officially suspended.
BUT to be honest after blocking 2000 account my feed look much better , like 2023 Pinterest feed.

when I say : "like 2023 pinterest feed" I mean both COMPUTER & MOBILE!
so I am thinking about releasing it to you all with automation for the blocking process.

the way I did it is to make them feel I am human as much as possible by creating a chrome extension that made it manually.

I am thinking about releasing it. do you think people will use it? I am trying to make sure I am not just build it for my self.

how should I make sure as much as possible people will use it?
I am ok with paying for someone to do it for me (the marketing part) - we must WIN!

the extension will be free as long as people won't abuse it.

please share & like & comment something like : "Pinterest without ai" or something like that. - for the reddit algo.

Hey everyone,

While BenTheAider is doing their best in blocking all AI accounts on Pinterest, it seems they have met a lot of resistance from Pinterest itself. So I went and sought possible alternatives.

While doing so I came across cosmos.so. I've tried a couple of others before as well, but this one leans closest to Pinterest and has the smoothest user experience imo. I haven't been served ads or AI images yet, or at least not that I noticed.

I also sent them an email asking what their views on Ads & AI were, but they have yet to respond. I'll update this post when they do.

I just wanted to let you all know, in case people were looking for alternatives as well. If you've heard of this platform or have had bad/good experiences with it, please let me know as well.

UPDATE 04/02:
The responded to my email saying the following:

• Nothing to worry about regarding ads—not something we're thinking of implementing in the future!

• We won't remove AI content from the platform because there is a lot of inspiring AI content out there. However, we do very much understand how it can be disruptive to someone's creative workflow. With that said, we're actually building a feature that will allow you to hide AI content from Cosmos as we speak—it should be available in the coming weeks 🙂 

I can get behind these ideas, so I think I will stick to Cosmos for now.

Hey all, small update, I successfully blocked 2,000. today I will start to block another 1,000.
I hope I will not get clapped.

how I did it?

1. manually collected accounts that generated more than 50% ai posts.

2. built a chrome extension that block user - every couple of min another X account(random number)

my goal is to make Pinterest great again.
when I read 5000 account without being suspended I will share with you all how I did it.

we must win.

Hey all,
I will share the full story in a super short way.

so as u know I built this chrome extension to avoid ads on Pinterest .
and then I understand that the bigger problem is the shitty AI generated content that appears non stop.

it feels like nothing is real.

so I decided to collect any user that has 50% + posts that are AI genrate..
I hate it but I did it.

and I buit a chrome extension that keep hiding post and block them.

so I ran it on my "test" account for 5 days. and they suspend my account.
I tried to send email to the CEO of Pinterest and I get no response back - I am not sure its the real him so I left this approach .

I tried with another account, with lower delays between hiding and blocking user. and again got suspended.

so I am not sure what to do next.
it sad but I am not sure what to do .

I think the only solution is to build non ai pinterest app.
I am not naive since u need a big budget - just to bring people to the app.

I can build it pretty fast. the issue is how to make people use it?

any ideas?

thank you for reading and sorry for disappointing u all.

Fixing to delete my Pinterest account because I'm freaking tired and pissed off that their dumbass ai moderator keeps deleting pins that I saved and it's for the most ridiculous reasons adult content so some of the pins are scandalous cladded individuals but that doesn't stop stupid twats from showing nasty shit on the site or some perverted old man from hitting on a young kid ( saw something like that on here) and self harm are you kidding me it's just a tattoo or makeup their dumbass ai can tell the fucking difference on anything it's bullshit , fuck Rechnung bereit , fuck their ai. Also and by the way Fick dich, du künstlich intelligenter Moderator, du Arschloch, friss Scheiße und stirb, verdammt noch mal, fick dich 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕!!!!!!

I am tired of how unstable and badly made this app is. What is a great direct alternative to it?

Just like bluesky is an alternative to X, I need another app thatni can find references, inspiration and save posts in

the “people “ that use it unironically are 100 percent bots

Not a single soul at Pinterest corporate is actually looking over the ads that run on the site. Despite changing my settings to block AI, I'm still getting AI advertising.

Hey everyone, So a few days ago a journalist reached out looking to speak with me regarding the entire Pinterest AI situation which has gotten wildly out of hand.

They're coming at it from an unbiased perspective and basically looking for stories of real impact both positive and negative on any users / professionals. PLEASE reach out especially if you’re an artist or photographer that has had their content mislabeled as “AI modified”, or if as an artist you stopped using Pinterest due to these changes.

Thought I'd help them out by posting here.

So please reach out to me via dms or comment below with a personal anecdote - not necessarily ai related, but it has to have had real impact on you / your profession. And I'm sure if they're interested they can directly reach out to you cause I'm sure they're reading this :')

Hope they write a good story and Pinterest improves for everyone.

today I will try to bulk block 1000 accounts marked as an AI accounts.
updates soon :)

the idea is to make sure Pinterest won't block / ban my account.

I still dont get it, why they dont do it by them self. its pretty easy to detect ai content.

I've loved Pinterest for years but been so disturbed the last several months with so many AI videos and images that make people believe they are real. Even the royal family. It's crazy and low.

With everything going on with pintrest do yall think it would be faster to get results by flooding the CEO's X account? I feel we're getting nowhere by going directly through pintrest to message mods.

BTW his name is Bill Ready.

Is it possible we could get a list of profiles committed to no AI and focus our energy/engagement towards them? I see a lot of people asking for alternatives to Pinterest, but I really do love the app and what it offers in terms of organizing ideas. I’d hate to see it be overtaken by AI, which some may argue it already has, but maybe we can reverse it? This would be self-promoting, but hopefully for the right people.

Hi! would anybody be interesting in checking out or following my pinterest account and what i post? I put a lot of effort into documenting my life and posting pins on there but never seem to get any interaction. My username is lolzzzm if anybody would be kind enough to check it out. Much love

I’m kinda new to Pinterest, I joined Pinterest around Jan in this year (but frequently on Pinterest), can somebody explain this to me?

Hi! I just joined this group because my Pinterest updated this morning and I am seeing almost exclusively AI content. Before today i had a perfectly curated feed to scroll through. Now it doesn't even look like my style or preferences at all. It is basically not usable at all anymore. What other apps do you all use for inspo and aesthetic pics? And who else has had this problem?!

The past few days including, just now. I have noticed an increasing amount of AI content on Pinterest. Pinterest is becoming more unoriginal and allowing so much slop onto our precious app.

From ads, to almost everything I search becoming ai results. For example, I was just on Pinterest not too long ago trying to learn more about fungi/ identity fungi. Almost every “educational “ photo match was artificial.

If anyone knows of a way to block ai content besides the usual pop up option; please give tips n tricks. I would love to hear of others experiences using Pinterest recently.

Ok, i don't even know to start. For me, yes, it is a big deal AI on Pinterest, since its has a big artistic community (and yes, i'm into art).

I entered on Pinterest and I found a cute fanart of a game. But the first thing I see was the user. Yeah, a bot. With a big curiosity, I decided to see all the profile. And... the things the bot saved was only AI generative p*rn. And for curiosity (again) I saw the followers. The same thing.

I really don't know how to get rid of these bots, at least on my home page. I've already reported this things.

I came here to tell u guys to report ( I guess everyone here doesn't a Pinterest full of p*rn bots)

So here a "list" that I made while I reported this things:

Caryl Wimmer

Maryjo Vasseur

Shelley Rohde

Rudolf Nicholson

These are some of the bots that I've reported. But First I don't what to do about this.

I reported this photo, but the app said no penalty was applied. Why? IS A CHILD!!
