This used to be one of my favorite places for inspiration, and now my homepage is FILLED with ads. It feels like every other pin in promoted. I spend more time turning them off than I do actually enjoying the things that are posted by followers I admire. The whole point of Pinterest has been diluted. Instead of it being a curated feed of things I love, it's turned into a wall of ALL THE BANNER ADS ON THE INTERNET.
Pinterest, I don't $#*!ing care what Disney princess I am or what are the 5 ways to cut costs on a wedding (idiots, I don't plan on getting married, please reconfigure your algorithms). Stop showing me clothing I would never wear (I don't want a sweatshirt with a bible quote on it) or products I would ever use (what the $#*! is BarkThin?). You've sold yourselves out to any advertiser that will throw cash your way, and you've forsaken your users in the process. Learn how to create a business model that doesn't $#*! on your users. I don't see a future with your company if you carry on this way.
