Dear Pinterest: Stop It

Grumpy mode on.

I got so sick of getting emails from Pinterest with the title: "this is so you-coded" that I now instantly delete them through an email rule.

In other words, I don't even see them. You'd think they'd get the hint through analytics.

The fallacy here is the assumption that "like" we all "like" are "like" from "like" San "like" Francisco/SV and we all "like" speak "like" and "like" think "like" that "like" way. Like.

Like. Get a clue.

Why not unsubscribe?

Pinterest is useful. I mostly use it to get industrial design ideas on some projects. They do send other email without stupid titles. Those are "like" fine.

Understood. What features would be most helpful in an open replacement?

Unscubscribing takes a second.

Posting the above would have taken you 60 seconds.

Pinterests algorithms have beaten you 60 to 1...
