My problem with Pinterest is that I start looking at drawing references and I end up looking at some other thing that doesn't have anything to do with references 😭 (Love the video!!
I've been struggling with that forever, recently I finished organizing some of my boards so I can actually look at some references and not memes or unrelated things despite me constantly tuning the home feed or whatever, also the boards thing is confusing and saving all of the images to my hardrive would be easier than using their site or app
man, the art theft on pinterest is so rampant. I've seen several cases where the original artist actually ends up commenting requesting credit, only to be completely ignored by the reposter
One of the biggest things I see personally is all the hate. While a lot of people use the comments to compliment the artist or ask for proper proof or credit, the hate is pretty much unavoidable. I personally get a lot of hate on really old art with people calling me a terrible artist, despite the fact that I stated that art is years old, and I have newer stuff on my profile.
Im very active on Pinterest but I have ALOT of issues with it. I hate how the comment sections in my pins keep randomly turning off and REFUSING to turn on again? I want to interact with my followers more so it pisses me off so much. Another questionable thing pinterest does is that it sends you emails that you're violating the community guidelines but doesn't elaborate or show you what you did wrong😭 And if it does it's usually about some random pin you saved that DOESN'T belong to you? I think that's very ridiculous lmao
I actually noticed how much Pinterest is becoming a lot like Tumbler, i wanted to look up pose references for my drawings, then go down a rebbit hole of something, not related
I feel like, while there are many, Pinterest's ads don't suck as much. Perhaps its because they usually don't play sound so I can easily ignore them and even tune them out. Well, they aren't annoying till I accidentally miss-click or think its a regular post and get sent to another app or link.
I have a similar art style and I post my art on Pinterest,I have that my style is inspired by your art ,but if you’d like i would happily give you more credit for my art!(the only thing really similar is the nose and hair)
That's okay! I'm not super obssessive about credit anymore, especially if it's small things. Unless it's really heavy inspiration, or my designs are being used, then yeah I would like proper credit. But if it's small things I don't really care! Do what you see fit :]
One thing I hate is how when you try to save a post it’s immediately put into your pins and says “uploaded by [your user]” and how there’s no way to distinguish what is and isn’t uploaded BY THE ACCOUNT and what was meant to just be saved as a favorite.
So if you save a pin to one of your boards on pinterest, someone will be scrolling and see that image and because you saved it, it'll say you uploaded it? i thought it wouldn't show up like that if i only saved it and not reposted it entirely.
as someone who makes video edits, i sometimes use pinterest to find art (whether it be fanart or official art from the source) and the lack of credits is literally insane. i make sure not to use fanart w/o credit. there have been so many times where i’ve found really good art on pinterest and there has been no credits and it sucks😭😭 edit: i also try to reverse google search but sometimes it just leads me back to the pinterest post T_T
I hate pinterest for sexualized art. whenever i search for my favorite cartoon character fanart i found sexualized things on top of a page. I dont even have to scroll down to find this shitty stuff. It is so annoying and i always feels so bad, like im not on some fucking porn page, i wat to see Garnet or Pinkie Pie fanart
this is so true, especially when you mentioned about small artists. its nice seeing the art, but sometimes people don't even credit the original artist's hard effort
I can relate to the weird art work, and the algorithm, for example, the other day, i was looking up the blue weezer album cover, because i was making a painting for my cousin, and then my feed was filled with weezer. And then for the weird art, i was looking at references for twilight sparkle, and i scrolled down to far lets just say, but i do use Pinterest alot for art references, to look at random photos, or have a good chuckle to funny videos/photos.
I love Pinterest because of the fact that we can save what we like, as you said, clothes, hair or even drawings.. But (I don't know if that's the only thing for me happens..) every time I save a pin, and with my second account I find it, Pinterest considers that it's me who reposted it and even if I put my board in private it continues to display with my profile picture and username..
Honestly I love Pinterest as well and want to post my art there ( with a watermark ofc) but every time I try, it just ends up very blurry which is annoying so idk what to do with that
My problems with pinterest are the art theft (IT'S SO ANNOYING WHEN I SEE THIS SPECIFIC ARTIST DRAWINF FANART AND I NEED TO KNOW WHO IT IS AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE IMAGES ARE ALL JUST BLANK LIKE??? and also people posting AI art and being like "this art took me 100 years please like it T_T" girlypop that's ai-- and other problems) 😃 anyways and then there's the fact that it is addictive, at least for me. there has been so many times I went on there just to get a reference and BOOM very interesting meme i see and then i end up scrolling for an hour straight!! i wish apps and websites weren't so cruel researching science on how to possess human minds to get them being active on their website to make money off of them. if companies weren't so greedy and they were chill none of us would have this problem. anyways also many videos say there is barely a social community, but there actually is a big community when you go on to certain posts like memes or relatable whispers/images. there is a whole whisper community on pinterest (for example whisper girlies, some of them make toxic whispers, but majority are people with actual braincells and have seen so many nice people that do whispers on pinterest, at least on my end). but yeah, on some images on pinterest there is a fully loaded comment section of people sharing their stories and experiences. anyways i'm done with my rant, but those are my 2 cents i wanted to chip in :D
i really like your videos and i find them helpful and amazing!! I post my own art on pinterest and its a good idea to get a watermark, for now no one there has stolen my art, but there is a lot of stolen art.
On a game I play, someone used someone’s art in a banner they made to promo their post. But, they said they didn’t know who the artist were bcus they found it on Pinterest. It annoyed me as I EASILY found both artists in the pins damn descriptions and they didn’t bother putting it in the post. Also, they were using that persons art to promote something with no permission
Thank youuu, the art theft is actually too real at Pinterest. I swear I’ve seen 1000+ times where they just put “idk the artist credit to them!!” Thankfully a lot of people are kind enough to image search for them in the comments Also yes the social media thing is just nonexistent on Pinterest, it’s pretty frustrating for a while until your pins start getting traction after like a few months or one suddenly blows up, but for the most part when you’re starting up art it’s total radio silence for a while on Pinterest
@@funnycadedishserver I haven’t really done it myself, but I’m pretty sure you just download the image and use it on like Google image search which will probably show what account originally posted it on images
3:08 that litreally gave me the best idea of making a "simplified" logo" and shoving it on my ocs shirt as a "band" name lmao or make a symbol and use that in a lot of places
Pinterest devolved into anothr algorithm and ad delivery machine, its hard to stay focused on what you're doing despite the whole site reminding you about inspiration or whatever, everyt other problem we might have is just a product of the social media landscape, also I'm mad when there's no credit, makes it harder to spot AI and I don't want to dimiss a picture I like because I can't be sure or if I'm trying to do a study and then suddenly the bones aren't right
Baby... Thank you really for talking about my problem. I literally get tired and draw and make art. Finally, there is an account on Pinterest that has 500 followers or more because of my art, and I only have 76.
I post my art of Pinterest too I’m not a big artist but I do put a watermark on there and since I’m small I’ve never had this issue and I hope I never do have this problem but if I do grow bigger and this happens I’m going to try my hardest to help credit artists more I do find art on there and I help give the proper credits as much as I can but sadly art theft is so huge there’s no way to stop it
my biggest problem is that searching is kinda off. I tried searching "black male hairstyles" "poc male hairstyles" and stuff like that and half the results are still white people >:0
Oh!! I didn’t know you also had a UA-cam! I follow you on Pintrest (lol for the topic), but I’d like to say that I love your pintrest account and love your art! Now I get more Baby Carrot content >:))
i mainly use pinterest for fashion inspo and band pictures and the app has soo much problems, but its the #1 app i use. so glitchy, very weird with minors (with the forced private account), the annoying ass emails, the "you saved a pin that violated our terms of service! just to let u know! (like idc??? 😭), and the people on it just steal ppls art/photos like its their job. i really hope it changes
I posted on pin when I was 11 one time it was an oc sheet it got stolen by a different "artist" who mainly stole art with similar art styles but they took my intire oc and I couldn't do anything about it bc the other person had 1k followers it was pretty slow but a few people came to my page and commented hate I had one person tell me "you can steal art god damn child just fxcking go to hell" this was my oc the account was smth crystel or amethyst I think the account isn't there last time i checked but I feel bad for younger me
Oh my god, I'm so sorry T__T Yeahh people also love to jump to conclusions even though it's SO EASY to check who posted the drawing first by looking at the date. And even IF you did repost someone else's art, it's so insane to tell a child to "go to hell" that's literally so evil
i honestly clicked on this just to ask if you've ever made a picrew... ur art style is SO familiar and i SWEAR ive seen a picrew w the same style guys pls tell me im not tweaking 😓😓😓😓😓😓
Таак, це все доволі велика проблема, але більшості просто всеодно. Я б була рада якби ШІ не використовували корпорації, підприємства які явно мають гроші на те щоб купити малюнок у художника, вони йдуть генерують картинку, а після редагують її. В Україні я це помічаю маже не щодня. Що до реклами в Pinterest вона залежить від геолокації, у нас немає рекламодавців там, тому відсутня реклама 🩵 Дуже круте відео, балдію від вашого голосу англійською…🫠
It is art. Getting into this debate hurts real artists. It is art that was stolen and forced to be made by machines. This is a problem we labor and capitalism. We live in a society that doesn’t want to pay workers.
Not much besides what I mentioned in the video lol. It can be your username, I put mine somewhere in the middle of the drawing. Or you can hide it in clothing brands and stuff. Someone in the comments said they made a band t-shirt design with their name and just put it on their characters' shirts lol. Or you can design your logo and use it in ways I mentioned. I can't really think of anything else lmao
Pokémon is a *problem* on Pinterest. Characters who are adults are shipped with CHILDREN protagonists are posted under general searches. It’s disgusting (Also for the clicking on a random thing an entire page full of it, my partner used to love Voltron’s and there is STILL Voltron’s shit on their feed years later.)
Oh depeding of the fandom totally sucks searching images about. Pokemon you could across to the most beautiful art and another time you would come across with a fetish art (also if you have the displasure to like certains Pokémon) I feel mad because Pinterest cant handle a tit or like a image of nudity but other things... yep. But like what cost to people also help? For fuck sake save the image in a site for porn then or put in a privaty file idk. Because Pokémon the problem itself is also the fans who can't stop making a joke about how sexy a certain Pokémon is even if is SFW. (not only this fandom, this is a bigger problem, but still, I just wanted to rant)
I have a very similar feeling with Pinterest. I had my first account suspended because they accused me of having p*do art on there and permanently suspended my account. I was very salty about that and didn’t even touch Pinterest for almost two years. Then one day I was able to access my old account again. That’s why I have a very mixed feelings about this particular website. Sure I use it for looking up art references, inspiration (and recipes). But I’ll never forget that moment because, if they were accusing me of being some sort of p*do for having certain images on my page. Then why is it on YOUR Website in the first place?
