I was getting what I thought were spammy accounts following me on Pinterest and asked Pinterest to check it out. This took ages, but eventually I had a reply that they had checked my followers out and closed any that broke their terms and conditions. I checked this out, and it did not amount to many. I think its possible these new followers are brand-new accounts and are finding me when they first join, so whatever the problem is I will just go with the flow… 1900 followers so far
Gifs do not animate until you open that pin normally. On a couple of mine that do not animate when you open the pin you can click on the still image and be taken to the Giphy animated version. The good thing about videos on Pinterest is that they animate wherever they are viewed..
Animated Gifs that don't animate are not good.
Yes I'm concerned about Kathy. But she is a bit overwhelmed by the internet now I think. I'll send her an email also.
Pinterest have now stopped my gifs from animating, it may be because I have a business account. Videos still work, so it is easy to convert a GIF to video, so I have started doing that.
Rather concerned about Kathy, she did not even answer my last email, and at that time she was not in the best of health.
I had spammy accounts following me in YouTube but they are pretty much gone now.
