- smt88 8y agoI've seen lots of highly active accounts posting hundreds of images. That's the spam I was referring to. Pinterest seems uninterested in policing/removing them, which makes sense because they draw traffic. I suspect those are counted as MAUs (and I can't see any reason Pinterest wouldn't count them, even though a human can tell they're just bot accounts). Unless Pinterest has written transparently about their massive bot problem, I'm reluctant to believe any self-serving metric they publish.
- WillPostForFood 8y agoComscore reports ~111 million monthly uniques for US only, so 175 million MAU seems plausible, though I'm sure you are right that it includes a few million bots. https://www.comscore.com/Insights/Rankings/ https://www.comscore.com/Insights/Rankings/
- overcast 8y agoThis may be addressed(corporate firewall blocking me) but how much is that driven by Google Image Spam though? I honestly can't think of the last time someone has even mentioned Pinterest to me, and most of my friends are female.
