Pinterest

i LOVED pinterest, but the last few years there have been more ads than actual pins and content. if you scroll through the first few lines of pins, the majority of them are ads! At some points all you see are ads on the screen and you have to scroll a good way before seeing any actual pins you're searching for! it really ruins the experience! I've definitely been using the app less and less. There needs to be some kind of cap on ads, its just ridiculous how many there are!!!

I have had pinterest for a few years. I always enjoyed the experience because it was well monitored and I would not get results that were off topic. I would give that version of pinterest 5 stars. However recently there has been a way too big increase in ads! I would estimate that for every 2 results there is an add. I can tolerate adds but not this many, it really takes a way from the app being user friendly!! Edit 2 years later: now there are 4 ads per 2 posts. This is really disappointing.

absolutely fantastic from getting inspiration or references for various things, but the ads are just WAY too much. I am not joking when I say I get more "sponsored" ads than I do regular recommendations. freshly opened app.. I counted 14 or more ads compared to 4 actual recommendations. and reporting them as spam, inappropriate, or simply unwanted, does nothing. it's very unenjoyable when you're scrolling through more ads than stuff you're actually interested in.
