Fuck Pinterest

Pinterest can go fuck itself. Years of terrible change has rendered it obsolete and completely useless. You can’t even visit the bloody site unless you have an account. Who signs up for that?

May I ask why do you believe it's "not a good idea"?
Because it’s not going to do any good. Why waste time trolling when we could be doing something that might be more constructive in this area?
They might have fun.
Do you have a suggestions re: other action they can take that would, in your opinion, "do some good"?
Maybe a protest or a petition? Something like that I guess.
Just stop using Pinterest.
Maybe make your own open-source alternative, if you're feeling particularly spicy about it.
I do hope you don’t mean me, because my previous reply was aimed at those who would do such things (I’m not on a crusade to change Pinterest, except exposing criminal activity from the inside, which I can’t go into any further detail here, but isn’t relevant anyway). My point is, if any of them who want to read this, my advice is, do something more helpful than what is effectively spam.
I see. Well, I believe any actions is already an action, and must be appreciated.
Some people just do not know best venues for their actions, but still try to participate and improve whatever they want, whenever they can.
It's not the User issue they are trying to solve, but the service's that hasn't provided better options for them they found useful enough in the first place.
I understand your point, I just don’t think that review bombing is the best strategy, unless the people doing it have some sort of specific, litigious line to follow that outcomes to an improvement. I somehow don’t feel like social media corporations particularly value reviews in the same way they used to, so long as they get the clicks and the cash.
