Pinterest blocking

Post by ParisGal »

Pinterest keeps recommending pins from a horrendous website called hom.e;talk that is pure clickbait for crafty people "This couple hated this dining set... you won't believe what they did with just 45$ and a full working week of labour". I like good crafty / diy stuff so am happy to have recommendations, but I don't want this site amongst them. No matter how much I click on the ... and hide pins from their website, there are always more :lol: In the help / through googling I can only see that you can block a person (pinner) rather than a source of pins. Am I doomed to JUST GUESS HOW A YOUNG MILITARY DAD TRANSFORMED HIS DAUGHTER'S SCOOTER forever?

No one? :cry: I just logged on to find the first recommendation is "Mom drills a hula hoop and frisbee on the kitchen floor..." In a sane world, this would be a cautionary tale, not "inspiration".

I can't work Pinterest but I'd be interested to see how my dog approached a frisbee and a hula hoop on the floor.

Oh! Typing that. I'm assuming the potatoey snack. I did wonder how that would work.

This is why I don't really use it anymore, so that's not particularly helpful.
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

I can't help either, but I fucking hate how it's virus-like effects continually fuck up Google searches.

I’ve also stopped using it since it went weird, sorry.

It is infuriating for google, I agree. Oh well :lol:

I do find it quite useful for a few things so will just have to put up with it I suppose.
