Goodbye, Pinterest. It’s just too bad everything has to be clickable and shoppable now. I’m just looking for inspiration, which you used to be pretty good at providing in an easy breezy endless croll kind of way. I didn’t even mind when it became 50% inspiration - 50% ads. Blah, I thought, I can endure this because the recommendations are still good. But now it’s more like 90% ads to 10% maybe inspiration. It’s really a sad thing to to know that eventually all good things get overpowered by the need to make more and more money.

Anyway, rant over. Adios Pinterest. I’m leaving you for Tumblr (hahaha) which appears to be the same weird and quiet place it ever was. I may remove the Pinterest tile on the top left of my website. Pinterest has gotten a little too good at shoveling ads in people’s faces that I’m not sure I want to promote that to anyone, even if it means chipping away at my my mediocre following there. I think humanity is pretty good at shopping already, especially during this time of year.

Just let me go to a website where I can scroll and have a good time.
