they look forward to turning chatbots into a sea of spam:

We expect rapid adoption of advertising models, transaction fees, affiliate revenue, and marketplace models.


We're doomed.

In the last weeks Pinterest became unusable imo. The AI "sea of spam" is no joke. 7 in 10 posts are ads now. AI ads. Every one of them is a grotesque AI mimic of the content you're viewing, all words meaningless gibberish.

7 in 10 posts.

After all these years successfully procrastinating with Pinterest, it has become a dopamine blocking experience.
