Some of you here know that people in my mini niche hate AI, to say the least lol.
Now, for my my blog itself, I have been changing a lot of AI images back to regular pictures, as Mediavine Journey is banning people for using 'excessive AI' on their site, and I don't want to lose them for sure, it's giving me the main part of my income, and I don't want to go through struggles all over again with Ezoïc and the likes.
Also, the AI images that I used in the beginning of AI, were kind of crapy anyway, I can imagine it turning people AWAY from some of those blog posts, they were horrible, lol.
That being said: I recently started checking my top 50 pins on Pinterest, with the most outbound clicks to my website. And I was surprised. People claim they don't like AI in my niche, YET they CLICK ON LINKS FROM THOSE AI PICTURES THE MOST!
Of the top 50 pins with outbound clicks, there are maybe 3 or 4 non-AI images!
[attach]2297[/attach]Summarized: I will use MORE AI images on Pinterest, but not on my blog. So far, Pinterest isn't against it at all.
But, I will try to make sure to only use real looking images, and not some clearly crappy AI images. At the same still use regular pictures, as an abundance of AI in my niche, I don't think will work for it in the long run. Wish I'd seen this before, time to check your top pins guys!
