Can Pinterest Survive the AI Shopping Revolution? (November 6, 2025)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
