TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of Pinterest's key feedback

1

Excessive Ads

Many users are frustrated with the overwhelming number of ads on Pinterest, which disrupts their browsing experience and makes the app less enjoyable. Approximately 30-40% of users have expressed dissatisfaction with the ad saturation, stating it detracts from the creative content they seek.

The app is almost unusable now due to the constant bombardment of ads.

2

AI Content Overload

Users are increasingly annoyed by the prevalence of AI-generated content, which they feel lacks authenticity and creativity. This issue affects about 20-30% of users, who are calling for better filtering options to exclude AI content from their feeds.

The app is filled with AI rubbish, making it hard to find genuine content.

3

Account Access Issues

A significant number of users are experiencing problems with account creation and login, often due to issues with age verification or unexplained account suspensions. This affects around 10-15% of users, who find it frustrating and inconvenient.

I can't log in despite entering my real birthday, and support can't help me.

Algorithm and Content Irrelevance

Users are dissatisfied with the app's algorithm, which often shows irrelevant or repetitive content. This affects about 15-20% of users, who feel the app no longer caters to their interests effectively.

The algorithm is broken, showing me irrelevant content and the same pins repeatedly.
