S21E3: Can Pinterest Survive the AI Shopping Revolution?
Pinterest just had one of its worst trading days ever, and blamed tariffs.
We dig into what’s really behind the drop:
- Why ad revenue might be a Pinterest problem, not a tariff problem
- How user behavior has shifted away from “mood board” culture
- What it would take for Pinterest to stay relevant in an AI-driven shopping world
Plus, Namaan and Jenny Rae debate whether Pinterest’s next move is reinvention or acquisition.
