  I got the uBlacklist Firefox extension specifically to block Pinterest from search results.

  Pinterest… I got a Pinterest account because my wife recommended it after I asked what it was.

  I got it. Very uninteresting. I see one image of like, lingerie or something, so I’m a heterosexual dude and I click that shit, think to myself, hey that’s sexy, maybe my wife will look good in that.

  Kid you not, my feed was nothing but lingerie and sexy stuff after that, and women’s clothing. And there was seemingly no way to reset my algorithm or delete my view history or anything. I wanted to see stuff from my interests, like art, skateboarding, gaming, sports, computing, technology, what have you. But my feed was ruined forever.

  My bad, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

    Just search for something else.

    I use it a lot to find photos to draw and paint from, but I do use some unknown site to do it (on the web so adblockers work), the app or the normal website is a total trainwreck but this one is fine IMO: kr.pinterest.com/pin/

      I guess that could work but I’m long gone from trying to get Pinterest to work for me. There’s… no interest. 🙃
