At least they are all fashion pins. But most are not my style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pinterest-jacked-my-pinterest-too#post-1050599 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 15:22:53 +0000 Archer 1050599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had an email from them which was written very skilfully to give pincers the impression they were being consulted about this more commercial moved. &nbsp;Everyone knows if you want a particular answer to a survey question you select your sample to suit. &nbsp;So I guess they are 'randomly' selecting people for the 'pilot' whose pinning history makes them look susceptible to unsolicited, aspirational marketing. &nbsp;What are they trying to tell us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pinterest-jacked-my-pinterest-too#post-1050206 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:10:13 +0000 rae 1050206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fwiw, this happened to me, too, and I deactivated my account. I finally broke down and reactivated it to access my outfit ideas, and lo and behold the suggested pins are gone ! Maybe de- and re- activating takes you off that horrible trial group. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pinterest-jacked-my-pinterest-too#post-1047731 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 23:05:44 +0000 Marley 1047731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't understand what you guys mean when you say you're getting suggestions from pinterest?&nbsp; Where are they?&nbsp; On your pinterest boards?&nbsp; I haven't had any problems - thank goodness!&nbsp; Oh, and Runcarla - you can set up your pinterest "settings" so that you don't get the e-mails. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pinterest-jacked-my-pinterest-too#post-1047123 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 02:11:31 +0000 Carla 1047123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto. A flurry of e-mail 'suggestions' usually comes after a flurry of pinning on my part. If I lurk, but don 't pin, I don't get the e-mails. E-mails just get trashed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pinterest-jacked-my-pinterest-too#post-1046256 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:17:51 +0000 donnat 1046256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same... My pinterest is a mess of stuff i am not interested in seeing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pinterest-jacked-my-pinterest-too#post-1045869 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 02:34:03 +0000 Janet 1045869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok yuck. I'm sorry to hear they got you too. I got an email from them saying that they're trying out some wonderful new ideas (uh-huh) but so far my feed appears unmolested. *knocks on wood* </p> <p>If they start mucking around with my feed, they will definitely run the risk of losing me altogether. Is there a petition we can all sign? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pinterest-jacked-my-pinterest-too#post-1045774 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 23:21:02 +0000 Classically Casual 1045774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having a version of AG's experience.&nbsp; Probably more than 25% of the pins are in the "we thought you might like this" category.&nbsp; I've deleted some of my boards to try to stop&nbsp; it.&nbsp; I've pretty much lost interest in pinning anything myself, but I do occasionally enjoy viewing new entries from Angie &amp; others I intentionally want to see.&nbsp; But it's annoying that some algorithm or whatever somewhere thinks it can second guess what I want to view.&nbsp; They can't, I change my mind frequently....LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pinterest-jacked-my-pinterest-too#post-1045758 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 22:34:43 +0000 deb 1045758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is still OK and hope it stays that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pinterest-jacked-my-pinterest-too#post-1045729 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 21:39:02 +0000 Sveta 1045729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't get anything except Pinterest weekly or something.
