Oh man I’m taking research class this is non exhaustive because there are gaps in the survey such as a lack of other or none and there’s a second criteria I can’t remember
I really hope my professor doesn’t have lemmy
They don’t
You might be on to something here
“Please poison my data”
Hey, look, all the sites I specifically avoid, plus Pinterest which just happens to get avoided.
I got the uBlacklist Firefox extension specifically to block Pinterest from search results.
Pinterest… I got a Pinterest account because my wife recommended it after I asked what it was.
I got it. Very uninteresting. I see one image of like, lingerie or something, so I’m a heterosexual dude and I click that shit, think to myself, hey that’s sexy, maybe my wife will look good in that.
Kid you not, my feed was nothing but lingerie and sexy stuff after that, and women’s clothing. And there was seemingly no way to reset my algorithm or delete my view history or anything. I wanted to see stuff from my interests, like art, skateboarding, gaming, sports, computing, technology, what have you. But my feed was ruined forever.
My bad, I guess. 🤷♂️
Just search for something else.
I use it a lot to find photos to draw and paint from, but I do use some unknown site to do it (on the web so adblockers work), the app or the normal website is a total trainwreck but this one is fine IMO: https://kr.pinterest.com/pin/
Why are people who make questionnaires so bad at making questionnaires? It’s baffling. This is particularly glaring but I always find stupid errors or assumptions like this.
Bias. Good 'ol plain bias.
Unless you’re very self-aware, one requires actual training and practiced mindfulness to break free from that in all endeavors. There’s also some lack-of-the-outside-world going on too - one would need to have at least thought about world experiences apart from one’s own, to consider alternative possibilities.
Where i live, none of the forms to apply for a flat ask only allowed questions. The respective agency even provides a summary, what questions are not allowed (like gender, religion) because discrimination potenzial but all ask at least two of them.
What do you do?
I would suggest lying. Like when an employer asks you about your position on unions.
I once reported a big management company but nothing came out of it.
The questionaire is kinda badly made but also i would choose snapchat because for some reason everyone i know uses it.
closes questionnaire
Lol tell them you use Pinterest.
i still don’t understand what the point of that site is, is it literally just made-up SEO spam that they managed to convince people is even slightly organic?
Pinterest? I’ve only touched it a few times to see what it was and it’s basically just Instagram, but instead of duck lips, misspelled names on coffee cups, and pictures of food it’s mainly focused on hobbies/crafts. That was years ago, tho. I have no idea what it’s like now.
Didn’t even have Reddit lmao
They sabotaged themselves years ago by squashing popular votes with an algorithm, so a large amount of people don’t realize the size of the site.
You can go look at recent popular tweets and see 200k reactions, meanwhile the top posts on reddit show 10-30k votes, despite having 2-50 times as many behind the scenes.
Why bother taking the survey then, or is it somehow mandatory?
how the hell someone can use pinterest for more than one hour a week? Just accidentally browse it when trying to search an image on the web and curse the ux team to have hidden the download button in a way that you click the image and brings you in a completely unrelated site with 10000 images except the one you wanted
If you’re a visual artist it’s great for finding reference and inspiration material. When I’m not sure exactly what I want to draw I’ll usually scroll Pinterest for a bit, find something that gives me an idea, then use Pinterest again to source reference material for said idea. So if I’m really in the mood to draw I can definitely rack up a couple hours in Pinterest a week.
Before they went all out nuclear with ads, promoted content, shops, and AI slop, I was using Pinterest a shit ton to look at fanart and memes (mostly stolen/reposted art, but real human art at least). I’d be on there for an hour or so every other day tbh, I liked making boards of my fixations and shit.
Then the app went to hell a few years back and I ditched it, because the web version sucks, and I didn’t know about LibRedirect instances. Now I just don’t bother with the place anymore.
Collecting cute images of fruit bats and wolves.
By not having “None of the above” or an “Other” allowing you to fill in the blank, instantly discards this data as viable. which makes this question pointless to even answer, let alone ask.
I think they shot themselves in the foot, one thing thats worse than no data is wrong data. And they are forcing people to produce wrong data.
Choose every option.
Lemmy
Removed by mod
Lemmy, Sharkey, and YouTube for me. I’m on Facebook, but less than an hour a week. A friend posts a weekly “how’s everyone doing?” post and I usually comment on that.
What the what? There is no “none of these” choice? In that case I’d check them all. And in the next screen when they ask how many hours for each, put 100 hours for each of them.
I have never had an account on any of those, did have a very long run on Reddit and a couple of interest-specific communities.
Who is Pinterest really for?
No idea. One of my kids likes it, I always block Pinterest results on searches once I figured out how, because I can’t stand that site.
Interior designers
Home decor… Or really interiors?
I can see artists, graphics and maybe UI designers regularly using it too.
Doesn’t matter anymore, it’s like 90% ai slop now.
