They have made it impossible to use, especially for adding pins or inputting our text to t he pin. Or adding linkages that are necessary. Many photos require attribution, but they make that impossible as well.
For instance, i uploaded a photo from Wikimedia. I tried to create a link to the photographer's permissions page under the photo. But stupid pinterest would not publish my comment, it just disappeared. I have no idea why, or how i am supposed to show a link and give the photographer credit! His work can be shared but it must be linked.
It's nearly impossible to just make the site work correctly if you are a contributor and must manage your pins. Nothing makes sense, you have to constantly use trial and error to make things work. And then they do not work, as i have just given an example. You can't contact any person who runs pinterest either. It's impossible. There is nothing but an entirely crazy making runaround of fake links going nowhere and are of no help whatsoever.
Pinterest is so closed off from the feedback of users, who create content, that they have No idea of what the issues are for users. The insane, super stressful, utterly frustrating issues.
Pinterest doesn't work. It is nothing but a huge headache and rather impossible to add any photos, or text, so -- i will not use it more than maybe a few times a year at most. If even that.
Also if i happen on a pinterest pin on google, i usually click back out quickly as that is a whole nuther set of enraging frustrations and obstacles and anything but enjoyable.
Something has been dreadfully wrong at pinterest for quite some time, they neglect their site and ignore and offend the users to the nth degree, especially content contributors. It is a wonder that site is still up.
Hopefully those losers will be done soon, so a competent group of people can put up a site like it but infintely better for the contributors and users.

I can NOT believe how psycho zynga games are, Especially Farmville 2. They FORCE you to take all kinds of stupid junk and clutter up your farm. Things like pet puppet shows, gambling, racing farm animals, and all of them have some kind of building that must turn your farm into a junk heap. You can't remove it. They of course want you to spend money doing these side shows, but i don't do them. So they force me to have them on my farm but it looks like dam urban sprawl or worse.
Not only that, but they popup thier new sideshows and FORCE you to go thru a dialogue because you cannot dismiss it until you go thru t hier rigamarole. Which includes phoney popups of "Me" saying things like " ooooh i love it" when really, i am sitting there cursing them to hell. You have to click on it or it won't go away, and then it takes you to the next inane step of thier draconian tyrannical hijacking of your game screen. With more instruction and more inane fake "Me " giving them stupid nice answers in little dialogue balloons, that i would NEVER say to that.So on and so forth. These people are not only insane, tyrants, oppressors, but they have NO clue of how people just want and need to take some time and enjoy a game. That will NEVER include such stupid unwanted unwelcome, HATED, ACCURSED, takeovers of the screen.
NO human can stand being mistreated by sociopaths who really really believe, that you are some kind of proxy of them, not a real human with a free will or autonomy. They want us to be thier robots going thru motions that might end up making them money. They are sick beyond belief, a nd in NO way do these owners of the game deserve to own it, or manage it,.
There are some cute graphics and animations, and a few decent basics and features, but they ALWAYS totally ruin any good you might get out of it. Plus, the game itself is pretty out of wack and rarely functional. It doesn't fit on the screen, they seem to think they don't have to make it flexible to fit on various aspect ratios or screen shapes. YES zynga you dumb beotch, YOU DO. This isn't 1995 any more. The internet has standards, and YOU don't seem to know what they are. You def are cheaping out on the tech end, why don't you hire real tech folks to get stuff right and make it actually functional?
All in all, zynga games are one of the worst possible games in the world. Because of the evil tyrants taking over your screen, violating your will, trying to force you to do thier bidding, and the super poor, substandard, malfunctionality of the game itself.
How did these despotic psycho slavemaster wannabes, ever get thier hands on such originally good graphics and animations, only to oppress humanity with it? Wow. This is so diabolical, it is like a mini version of the world's worst dictatorial total control system where people don't count and they have zero freedom or choice whatsoever. Someone please take these games away from t hem. They ruined Castleville with too much demonic themed shhht, and all t he other problems,. Now they ruined Farmville 2. They can't help themselves, they are doomed, as all evil eventually is.
Photo shows one sideshow that wouldn't let me dismiss it at first, and now adds clutter, and also pops up if it is ever so slightly grazed with the cursor. Which is impossible to avoid, since they clutter the screen with far too much stuff taking up the screen, that takes up all the space and you just can't get away from.

I read an accusatory letter from a government agency, t o an honorable and effective herbalist i had bought items from in the past, which letter was published on the QW site. But it seems to be a fundamentally flawed accusation, just that the federal agency did not seem to know their own business and what is permitted vs what is not. The site QW did not give any further info, as to the disposition of the case- just an accusatory preliminary letter. Which may have been overruled by a judge in favor of the existing laws that the Fed agent seemed unaware of. Or maybe the Feds and who knows, maybe also QW, just try to bully and harass alternative medical professionals, in order to serve thier apparent long term masters, Big Pharma. Since the major Federal agencies including this one, seem a bit compromised and a bit captured by industries who become government insiders and then wield the agencies as weapons against competitors.
Old medical remedies DO NOT have the same labeling or ad requirements as new ones. A lot of them are "grandfathered in" without the current requirements, based on thier past of successful use by doctors of the past.
It appears that these people on QW are a bit out of date and not very knowledgeable. As are some people in federal agencies. Or else they deliberately and knowingly harass good alt medicine professionals.

Or something very close to that. Shady at best. Definitely untrustworthy and risky imo. Of several hundred dollars worth of items i ordered, several were just not as described, or made poorly. Also they are selling items they are not a listed authorized dealer for. It appears they might be using inferior materials and fake brand packaging to make it look like the real deal. This is so common among brand name counterfeiters in china. That is where the vast majority of zulily goods seem to come from.
I decided to use only payment methods that have some form of buyer protections. Like paypal and etc. So maybe go thru them to get a real refund or good resolution. Also i will be reporting them to the real brands in order to stop them selling unauthorized, defective merchandise or fake knockoffs if indeed they are.
Some items seem to be factory seconds/ rejects at best, but nothing is said about it on the item listings. I think retailers are supposed to inform the buyers if it is factory seconds ( defective merch).
Some of this should be reported to the state attorney general's fraud or consumer protection division, the states usually have a form online to report things.
There may also be other accusations being made in the legal realm, here is one of them: https://www.law360.com/articles/*******/zulily-accused-of-using-real-deals-to-legitimize-fake-ones

YOUTUBE CHANGED when google bought it out. Nice choices of videos, ok functionality (a bit blurry usually though). BUT if you want to do more than watch- you have to sell your soul to google and register and link to google plus, etc. Toooo many registration and privacy invasion issues!
They are totally exploiting all users as much as possible, with all the tracking and data mining they do to you, if you allow them.
If you do NOT sell yourself to them with all your private personal info and total 24-7 tracking of your activities all over the web, then you don't get to use the comments section or even post on your own channel! In other words you can ONLY use youtube to watch videos, period.
ALL FOR GREED AND THE LUST FOR PATHOLOGICAL SPY CAPABILITY.

Google Maps used to be so good. But lately they have introduced new HORRIBLE nonfunctionality, with the new "cutesy" nervewracking features and removing good old smooth reliable ones. WE NEED GOOD BASIC USABILITY and features that actually work for us.
It looks like google's big bubble of stock value will probably fall soon, imo. Because people will all get sick and tired of using their maps as it becomes a big headache sometimes.
Now you can't even click and zoom any more, if you try that those stupid search boxes come down and cover the page. Things just don't work any more, and lots of other awful new changes that are a real headache. They lost a lot of their good reliable functionality.
Don't they know that you can't irritate people's nervous system with evil nasty bad little qwirky sh*t that just frazzles your nerves, and still be the go-to mapping site? How many psych episodes do they really want to set off, how many strokes and heart attacks do they really wanna give people trying to use this stupid unnerving POS new system?

That said, google earth or satellite mode is ok for some things, but have to give up quickly due to the nervewracking part of it. The street level views are useful. So they get one star.

Absolutely horrible and atrocious behemoth that has its cancerous metastases invading all of our pc usage and phone usage.
It is an utterly invasive piece of sh*t that will not allow you to go about your life happily as it was before it took over things like youtube and other personal usage of the web.
It is a freaking mafia syndicate monopoly and will no doubt, one day be prosecuted to the hilt.
It is a privacy destroyer that makes yo feel like just using the web or your favorite sites is akin to getting the mark of the beast, practically.
They used to say, Don't be Evil. But they stopped saying it, because
NOW THEY ARE EVIL. They not only sold out their own soul, but they are trying to steal and sell out ours.

BUYER BEWARE! Lots of fake metals on etsy! Some of the more thriving sellers falsely misrepresent their jewelry as being "copper", "silver", "gold" etc. when in fact it is only a zinc alloy or other fake that is the same color of the genuine metals. This isn't ok with etsy nor with the laws.
"Gold" may be the color but not the precious metal, and the sellers are supposed to let people know it. But too many don't.
There is a Materials section on each listing, and they are supposed to tell what the actual metal or materials are. Over the years I have seen MANY instances or whole shops that are full of the fake descriptions. Many don't even list the materials at all but use a false title.
Yet these shops have high sales volumes and i can only surmise that it is because their buyers think they are getting real metals instead of worthless alloy.
I know whereof I speak as i am very familiar with the jewelry parts that are commonly on the market for designers to use, and i have easily identified or even bought some of them on etsy.
It isn't fair for honest sellers that disclose their real material, to have to compete with the dishonest liars who falsely state their materials. It makes a lot of difference as to whether someone will buy or not. The liars know this apparently and deception is their tool for more sales and high profit margin. The fake alloys are super cheap to obtain for parts. The real deal is not. The buyer will often not know the difference by sight. Some of the biggest offenders are "bronze", or "antique" metal colors. They are very often not the genuine metals at all but zinc alloys with fake colored outer layer.
So it's best to always send a convo to the seller to find out directly from them what the real actual metal is. If you pin them down they may sometimes tell you the truth. You might need to test your jewelry metals after you buy them too.
