Hi there!

I totally understand, let's get into this problem a little bit together.

Idea Pins allow us to offer more value to your followers, inspire action, and, more importantly, drive traffic to our website.
For many of us, Idea Pins represent an excellent opportunity to showcase expertise and engage people with valuable content.

Sometimes pinners face with the engagment issues, which can be frustrating sometimes. But this can be caused by some technical issues or new updates can affect algorthims for a short amount of time.
I advice you not to stop sharing your amazing ideas with your followers! So here are some tips for you to create good performing Pinterest Idea Pins:

Use only high-quality visuals
Use catchy titles
Consider your audience’s expectations
Go more in-depth than the average pin
Supplement visuals with helpful text
Inspire action

Hi There! 

I glanced at your profile (love your video profile cover, btw!) and have a couple thoughts for you. 

First, are you making just as many Idea Pins as you were before? It could be that some of your older/first Idea Pins aren't traveling as much throughout Pinterest. I would be sure to include creating Idea Pins in your content mix ongoing if you're not already. 

Secondly, I would suggest adding some context to your Idea Pins that make it feel more like an Idea or Inspiration when a Pinner sees it vs. more of just a product for sell. Also consider avoiding at the buying link on the creative. Instead a text overlay like "flowy dresses for spring" or "how to style combat boots" would fall more in line with how Idea Pins are intended. Can you show people how to style an item, or combine different products around a theme/trend that all work in together one Idea Pin? Just some thoughts! 

Adjusting your content and creative on the Idea Pins, and publishing them regularly, should help you get more traction!

Hi there, 

Thank you for the response. I am a daily Pinterest user and yes we are making as many idea pins as before. Before this 5000% dropped in impression on story pins i was sharing almost 5 to 10 story pins on daily basis, but now i am not keen to share more then 2, because i think now sharing story pins is useless because your pins do not get the impressions they actually deserve.

Hi @miggondotcom 

You're certainly not alone in this. Like you, I started noticing this issue a couple of days back. I thought I was losing my mind lol. 

For some reason, my story pins stopped pulling in huge impressions like before, no matter what I did. Now i get about a hundred or 200 impressions if I'm lucky. 

Still no clue on how to solve it yet. Hoping Pinterest resolves the issue soon.

Hi @miggondotcom @PinterestDavid  , have you solved this problem? In my case, it has happened the same since 1 Feb 2022, and the Pinterest answer is the same template you shared. I don't know what to do! Thank you!

There is no help from pinterest even for me. Have a look at my concern as well.. 
There are 1000's of users talking about it since 2021 update about this bug, but they don't accept and solve this issue, instead they provide template response (which we already do on pinterest)
