I analysed 1000 Pinterest pins... and deleted the app
If you're a sewist, knitter, or maker of any description, you've probably used Pinterest to gather inspiration and build creativity? But what if it's quietly doing the opposite? In this video, I analysed 1,000 Pinterest pins to uncover what the platform actually shows us: 🔹 How much of your feed is really organic vs sponsored or shoppable content 🔹 Whether the algorithm actually understands your creative interests 🔹 And how this impacts your imagination, focus, and joy in making What I found honestly shocked me. If you’ve ever wondered why your sewing or knitting ideas feel the same as everyone else’s, or can't seem to escape the vortex of fast fashion trends, this video will help you see why.
