Pinterest isnt lacking in diversity. What YOU choose to follow does. Not trying to sound rude, but you are shaming a platform that is one of the ones that I actually see myself. Mixed, tattooed, not your normal style. It is geared to what you keep choosing. It's all based off of your likes. So that's you babe❤

@aishaburgess8595 4 года назад

Well what you search for will be the same as if someone else searches for the same thing... so maybe when you search 'style inspo' it should be more diverse. I searched it and you get the same slim white girls. So don't blame Sierra.

@movingpicturess1 4 года назад

this is like a perfect representation of "it's not fashion, it's being thin" that points out that people like these outfits because of the body that's wearing them, not being they're interesting or original. people don't want the outfit, they want the body.

@lindsayvicars 4 года назад

I think.. And correct me if I’m wrong.. That if you’re pinning a bunch of skinny white girls on your Pinterest boards, you’re going to get more of that on your home feed. It’s curated to what you search and pin..

@rebeccathomasanderson8677 4 года назад

Trying again, in hopes this comment will not be deleted like my previous comments have. Pinterest "default" of images of thin, white women when you put in "fashion" is not driven by Pinterest, but by users. They are simply showing you the top result - driven by images that are most pinned and posted by users - until you curate your own experience though more specific searches And it's absolutely a problem that thin, white woman are seen as the default societal beauty standard and that's reflected in the most pinned and shared images on Pinterest, but that's not what Sierra is discussing in the intro. Additionally, in her explanation in the comments, she's mis-understanding why thin, white women are the first search results - it is NOT because Pinterest as an organization is promoting those images. Let's start a conversation about beauty standards, but blaming the Pinterest platform is misplaced and not accurate.

@elenapaints972 3 года назад

Algorithms are created by people with all their biases, therefore most social media algorithms are biased to show white and thin as the default. That is a problem

@marleneolvera778 4 года назад

I think this video shows how Sierra still needs a lot of work in her self love . I mean when I look at Pinterest I’m not worry on the size or the color of the model, I’m looking for inspiration. It’s just like Sierra doesn’t have the same body type as me or skin color but I’m not worried about that cause I like her videos .

@thejdanielle 4 года назад

I get what you mean but representation is still very important. I am very content with my body and how I look but when I look for outfit inspiration for Pintrest, I have to add black woman at the end of everything that I search.

3M3C u are not getting the point, u have to physically type it in, example I have to type in “black girl” get my results and that the issue, it should be a default, putting in race shouldn’t be considered a “specific” when looking up things on the app like “green bedspread”

@r_27P 4 года назад

Pinterest as other social networks are based on an algorithm, it will keep on showing you what you actively search for. Also if plus size stores, models, influencers don’t upload their pins, it doesn’t means that Pinterest is doing something wrong. The content is generated by the users, so if you are a plus size influencer you should start adding pins that represent you, without making such a big fuzz about it. I could easily complain that there isn’t enough content on Pinterest in spanish or for latino audience because the majority of the users are from the USA but instead I just add the pins and contribute with the content that others like myself will search for. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So as an Opinion, from someone who works with feedback in my actual line of work: cool video concept, but the semi rant was unnecessary. In my opinion. No hate, just feedback.

@shadesb8911 4 года назад

I completely agree

@Seafoamdancer 4 года назад

@r_27P 4 года назад

Itzel Barrios Glad to see someone agrees with me. Also she has plus size merch, she should put it on Pinterest! It’s a great lead generator. Also people can follow plus size brands on Pinterest. To me is just useless to complain about the white skinny girl content that white skinny girls are creating for white skinny girls like themselves 😂. I also wonder if Sierra uploaded those pictures to Pinterest and contribute it to the content she wants to see in there. 🤗

@r_27P 4 года назад

Winter Wonder please pin point where was hate in my comment. Seriously. Where is the hate? Did I name called? Insulted her intelligence? The video could’ve been “I recreate this Pinterest outfits” because your experience on the app, my experience on the app, and her experience on the app are not universal. And by the way. I don’t need to force any diversity into my playlist and the content that I consume 🤗 where I live what you call diversity comes naturally when we respect each and everyone but that’s too much to ask for other countries.

@SierraSchultzzie 4 года назад

Jenna Qasqas hi! Just wanted to pop in and clarify that I choose and order the clothes through the thredup website / app just like anyone else would. Thredup just pays me to do it, that’s the only difference. The way I sort when I’m shopping on there (whether for a sponsored video, a video where I need a specific item, or just trying to find something for myself) is by sorting by my size first, and clicking the boxes of my favorite brands that I’ve had success with on thredUP before (usually madewell, american eagle, free people, torrid, old navy, etc). Sometimes I will also sort by condition and just select “like new” and “new with tags” to narrow it down to the highest quality items. If I’m looking for a specific item (like I was with the brown pants) I uncheck the brands so it shows all brands, and then check the item (pants in this case) and check the color I’m looking for (beige in this case) then I go through the results from there. Hope that helps on your search!

I watch a lot of your videos with my 7 year old daughter. She loves your style and I feel like I can’t start early enough in teaching her to love herself and not fall into the trap of judging bodies-her own or anyone else’s. We are doing virtual school and during her “class” free time she was talking to her classmates and one of them made a comment about their body. These are second graders. My daughter responded with, “Be kind to your body. You are perfect the way you are.” I am so proud of her. Thank you for the positive message you put out in the world.

@faiebul 4 года назад

my issue with thread up videos is that they seem to inflate the ‘original prices’ cause atmosphere is a very very cheap clothing line from primark - there’s almost no chance of it costing 22 dollars! and also with threadup, you can’t talk about where you got the other clothes from, only the stuff they sent you.

@caitarix9955 4 года назад

I kind of get what point she is trying to prove, but my Pinterest is based off what I search. You can look up plus sized clothing inspo on Pinterest and find plenty, so I don't think it's fair to pretend that 'nothing on Pinterest represents me'. Also, I laughed OUT LOUD when she said she switched to Instagram instead of Pinterest to find something more suitable? Instagram? I would 1000x times rather be on Pinterest, than Insta, because atleast there I can search up something suitable that I will be comfortable in. All this to be said, not every fashion trend is meant for all bodies and that is ok. Not everything has to be made for every size and we just need to accept that as women. I have a large chest for example, so little bralettes will NEVER work for me, just like I'll never be comfortable wearing oversized sweaters because they don't do justice for my frame. This problem you're having isn't Pinterest's fault, it's yours. Your search history and pins probably reflect those of skinny white females, so that's what they're showing you.

@Sophie-qr1bo 4 года назад

@breeze9778 4 года назад

@arianah7730 4 года назад

I think that fashion trends shouldn’t be limited to certain bodies... it should be for all body types. I also have a larger chest and I wear bralettes. I don’t think we should just accept not including everyone... people should wear whatever they want whether or not the trend was “made” for their body type.

@caitarix9955 4 года назад

@@arianah7730 You're right, everyone can wear whatever they want, but brands don't have to cater to every size, they just don't.

@user-id8wp3lb9i 4 года назад

@@caitarix9955 I hate when Plus size people make such a fuss about stores like brandy Melville, but when it comes to Torrid they make it seem like it's some savior. Now I'm not saying that thin people don't have places to shop at or whatever, but why bash someone when another store is doing the exact same thing just on the larger end of the scale. And Brandy Melville never claimed to be one size fits all. It's one size period. And I get it thin people have note places to shop than larger people, but don't be a hypocrite about you opinions. Either you agree that all stores should have inclusive sizing or you disagree. Don't just change your mind to make a point in an argument.

@HighfiveTURKEY 4 года назад

I think you’re great. But change starts at home. Maybe diversifying your team is a great way to understand the experience of others who bring relevant skills to the table. This could have helped you understand that people of colour actually may have Pinterest suggestions that represent us or our interests. Your Pinterest is actually based on what you actively put out. Great job putting yourself out there, all love no hate, you’re wonderful.

@earthstar7534 4 года назад

She doesn't even have to necessarily alter her team, but damn at least ask a POC about our experience before you brand a space white and skinny potentially keeping POC from entering thinking they aren't welcome. Her intentions were good, that definitely matters most. She just missed the mark this time.

@HighfiveTURKEY 4 года назад

Haha, well said. Definitely all love for our Sierra baby. We can all learn.

@karinafisher268 4 года назад

earth star yes literally!! i’ve been using pinterest for 4 years as a woc and tbh i’ve never had a problem with it. i do have a lot of diversity on my page, but that might be because i interact more with different “aesthetics” than the ones featured in this video. i feel like these simple basic outfits aren’t something i interact with at all so maybe that’s why i have a much different feed 😳 but yeah my pinterest has a bunch of diversity honestly and i feel like she’s blaming pinterest for the lack of diversity when it’s really user error- personally as a woc i absolutely love pinterest because of all the diversity and how much u can do on there 😗

@LifeendDeath 4 года назад

Excuse me, I love you, but my pinterest is full with plus sized women so I have no idea what kind of pinterest you're referring to? Not only that. I mostly use pinterest for reference to draw and I mostly draw dynamic poses (like yoga or ballet dancing or something) or plus size women or something. So after pinning some photos of plus size women and dancing, I started getting recommended lots of plus size women dancing/doing yoga. So I guess it depends on what you pin on our board.

@Lisa_Flowers 3 года назад

you're really close to that ideal though? If your profile pic is you, then you're lightskinned, have straight hair, and probably only a couple sizes bigger than most pinterest models. So of course you wouldn't care lmao. Outfits can look completely different on plus size or darker skinned people, and people further from the ideal do care.

@nicolep.8103 4 года назад

Seems like more of an insecurity problem and less of a pinterest problem based on the comments. I agree diversity is the goal, but if you see an outfit you like, try rocking it with whatever body you’re blessed with. Sierra definitely gives off the body confidence to do that.

@laurarivera6349 4 года назад

I mean you have to be specific when searching. If I want to look at inspiration for a flower tattoo and only search tattoo obviously I'm not going to see what I want. So it's important to get specific in the search then that will help what is shown on your specific board.

@sherlocklittlefriend4140 4 года назад

Not every thing is attacking you . I think that she is using the plus sized argument in every single video and thats nice but can be annoying, Pinterest and mostly other sites work on algorithms so it shows you what you search for . Just please don’t use plus size and body positivity as a BRAND or a thing to make an argument..

@kathrynsinger3198 4 года назад

Jumanauwu I think she is using it more and more as her brand. She’s got that new FB group centered around it. I can’t say I necessarily blame her as it’s a hot marketing demographic at the moment. It’s a savvy business decision but I agree it makes me personally less interested in her videos that focus on that.

@PeaceRose96 4 года назад

here's an idea! don't watch her videos then. sierra is one of the few creators that works really hard with her content to make it inclusive and diverse. she's not using plus size as a brand, she's so much more than just that topic. her feelings are valid, if she's upset by something she has on her feed or has been seeing for a while who are you to say not everything is attacking you? the only person that sounds attacked right now is you for making this comment just saying :) find creators that you actually like instead of leaving comments like this, it does absolutely nothing in the long run.

@oopsbrandonzhot 4 года назад

@ivacukic 4 года назад

I definitely see plus sized models on pinterest ALL the time even though I'm not plus sized myself, though I follow some plus sized youtubers and instagram accounts (like Sierra) so perhaps that's why. Alyssa Beltempo (one of my favourite creators of all time) includes TONS of diverse looks from pinterest in her videos for outfit inspirations, not only different sizes but POC and disabled models as well. They are definitely there, although it's likely that the skinny white girl is still predominant.

@earthstar7534 4 года назад

Regardless of how she came across these photos on Pintrest, I still like the idea of taking these looks and recreating them on a different body type to show that clothing can look good on you no matter what your body looks like. I'm also excited for the video next week about the continuation of supporting small business 🙂

@jasminevelarde8828 4 года назад

Thank you, Sierra. Before stumbling across your channel two years ago, I was self conscious about my body. You made me realize that I needed to go up a size in jeans because my old jeans were tight on me. I thought I was the problem, but as silly as it sounds, you gave me the revelation of sizing up. Beforehand, I just thought I had to lose weight and sizing up never crossed my mind. After binging your videos, I walked into American Eagle, tried on a pair of jeans in my new size, and I felt a huge weight off my back. I remember feeling happy that I was finally going to have jeans that fit properly and that sizing up is okay and normal. Of course, I still have my insecure days, but overall, I’m way more confident about my body. So here we are today, me eating a bag of chips as I watch this video in peace (: I hope everyone is having a good day!

You have to expand your search on Pinterest and include "curvy" or "plus size" in the bar. You should also pin from these searches and have your setting to where Pinterest feeds off of your pins. You will get much more of what your are looking for without having to actually search for it after a while. I love pinterest

Many people with eating disorders save thinspo they like to boards on Pinterest, but they'll title the board something like "Fashion Goals" instead of "Thinspo" so Pinterest won't take the board down for promoting anorexia. Plus, then if anyone they know in real life sees their board, they'll just think it's fashion inspiration and won't get suspicious. (I know this because I have an eating disorder.) So if you ever see a "fashion" board on Pinterest with exclusively super-skinny models, that might be what it is.

The second outfit was super cute on you. I vote to style more hats in your wardrobe. 😍 I always love seeing the behind the scenes footage with your outfit experiments. More seriously, I relate to you and your journey with confidence and body positivity so much. I have been watching your videos a few years now. It’s amazing watching you grow as a person. Thank you for sharing not just the good, but the bad as well. I love you and your videos and never miss one! ❤️

It's been on the table how nowadays "fashion" is just thin people wearing what ever clothes. The post went viral on twitter where someone was laughing at two women's outfits because they looked trifted or whatever, and someone went "imagine those clothes on thin people and you'd call it style inspiration" and it absolutely blew up. And I think it's a good reminder to all of us. Posts like that one with shorts and t-shirt isn't about the clothes but the way the clothes fit on thin body. It's gone so far we aren't even judging people by clothing anymore, which already is harmful, but at least migh show something about the person as a... you know, person. We immediately judge the person UNDER the clothes (creepy when you put it that way but actually it IS kinda creepy) and THEN decide if even the clothes are acceptable. Not even talking about aspects like personality. This video is important reminder and I hope more and more people start aknowledging this modern problem.

I’ve got to agree with most of the comments. I’ve never had an issue with getting my Pinterest to match what I’m looking for at that point in my life. I feel like maybe Sierra’s wasn’t because when she was using it last (as in before using it again for this video) what she was searching and saving didn’t match her body type and head space. She mentions in about the middle of the video that she used to use it for “thinspo” and so one (or a few) day or using versus years of using it isn’t going to immediately change her Pinterest algorithm. Apologies if this sounds bad, I could be wrong or maybe the algorithm sucked back a few years. No matter what Sierra looks super cute in all the outfits.

Not every state of things is meant to bring you down or leave out you and your identified “group”. Typically love your positivity with your strong and educated opinions, truly! No hate, love you and what you stand for! But this video felt Whiney, poor me. There needs to be a conversation...? Yes, but Just search and pin more diverse things! It’s an algorithm. That’s it. You go girl! Thanks for being a positive and inclusive presence on RU-vid and other platforms! I look up to you as someone who has lost 70 lbs and still searching to love and accept my body more fully!

@amangrewal6298 4 года назад

I think the issue Sierra was targeting is if you type outfits inspo. or fashion the default setting are white slender woman and that you have to customize it to go to your targeted feed. So the lack of representation is that why aren't people of colour and other body sizes default setting and that isn't a Pinterest issue to me but a society issue. Similarly with LGBTQ if you just type love or couple on Pinterest it goes to heterosexual sexy couples as default and not same sex , transgender or asexual, etc couples. This default setting isn't just on Pinterest or on every social media app (like Tik Tok- I know how many times I had to actively seek out people of color and LGBTQ to get that level of representation on my FYP) but exists in our society and that's the issue that needs to be tackled.

I think Pinterest shows you what you’re looking up and “ interested” in. I see plus sized fashion all the time because that’s what I’m searching for. I think it just depends

@marymidkidlight 4 года назад

But you shouldn’t have to search plus size fashion to find fashion! When you search fashion it should show both standard and plus sizes

@rebeccathomas4611 4 года назад

If you haven’t curated a feed, the algorithm will show you the most popular results pinned by other people on Pinterest based on your search term. So, more people are pinning photos of thin white woman as “outfit inspiration” than a different body type and diversity. The fault isn’t Pinterest’s - it’s just that more users are pinning those photos than others. Pinterest is not promoting anything, they are merely showing you the top results until they gather more data about you and the algorithm kicks in.

@laexrae3206 4 года назад

the sitting down car picture looked soooooo good, i have a similar body type & i used to plan my outfits around what i was doing that day, like i had standing up outfits & sitting down outfits. one of my biggest insecurities was when i would sit in the car with other people, i would worry about how my sitting down stomach looked. it was so damaging to my mind & watching videos like this really help me to remember that trying to be conventional & having the “ideal” body type shouldn’t be my goal. thank you

I use Pinterest for myself but also aesthetics of fictional characters, my algorithm doesn't know what to think of me, but it is pretty diverse. A lot of my outfits pins are Korean/Japanese fashions at the moment, so I see more Asian women than white women pins. For a while I had Indian wedding looks coming up because I wanted to see what Indian trends in formal makeup looked like for a sim I was making. Other times there are next to no fashion images, just crochet patterns and sims custom content. I did, however, have to search specific things for that to happen. I shouldn't have to curate diversity to see it.

@dolcekayy 4 года назад

What's so crazy is that I was just on Pinterest this morning looking through outfits and a woman popped up that was my size (midsize) and I went OMG and realized that I never really see anyone with our body type on there!! It was a huge eyeopener, and THEN just now this video popped up!! You are such an idol and inspiration to me!! :)

@izzytalbot107 4 года назад

My mum is a curvy lady and I love to help style her ( one of my favourite things to do with her!! ) - I always love to look on Pinterest for interest. I add curvy to the search and find lots. My ‘feed’ then become inundated with curvy styles and I love to see this. But because I have a different body type so when I begin looking for myself it doesn’t change gradually... it jumps back to ‘slim white woman’. I love this video!!

Totally agree with the idea that as a plus size person it’s hard to try a style unless you’ve seen it in someone with your body type. Today I am wearing a boxy crop T-shirt tied in the front showing off some of my stomach skin for the first time ever because I see you Sierra rocking it and I finally feel comfortable to try it for myself.

@morganlynnem 4 года назад

Pintrest shows you (and emails suggested boards) based on the content you're searching for and engaging with. Tags are added by the users who upload the content. If you search plus size fashion, size 16 fashion, etc that is what you'll end up seeing in your feed/suggested boards. Complaining that Pinterest doesn't represent diverse body types/races/etc just means that isn't what you're searching for. It would be interesting to see you do a video where you actively search for and engage with the content you want to see more of and then check back in on your home feed and suggested boards to see how your activity influences the algorithm.

@sophievanbronswijk3029 4 года назад

I know this has been said by various other comments I’ve seen, but I also thought this video felt off. Pinterest is based on what you search for and what you pin or view, so I think talking about representation when something is based of what you look for... doesn’t quite fit. Maybe that wasn’t your intention to come across like this but from a viewers perspective that’s how it came across. No hate but just wanted to give feedback

@kobaltkween 4 года назад

First of all, my Pinterest experience is very diverse. But, as I mention below, so are my searches. So part of the issue is what you choose to look at and for, and what you pin. I not only get pushed plus sized fashion, I get ads for plus sized clothing. But I have very specific fashion interests, very wide artistic interests (I use Pinterest mainly for reference images), and zero interest in trends. Second of all, what's on Pinterest is put there by users. Same goes for Instagram. Instagram has an unusually large black user percentage, while Pinterest has an unusually large white female user population. If you think it should be more diverse, encourage women like yourself to start going out and pinning more diverse content, and following the threads of the diverse images Pinterest does find. Sorry if that last bit came off snarky! I honestly didn't mean it to be. I just mean that a significant part of the issue is in the hands of it's main users, who are people like you. It is possible to teach the app to present diversity as a default, but it will take their average white female user deliberately and consciously not settling for a homogeneous feed. Oh, and I think you look great in these looks!

@SierraSchultzzie 4 года назад

hey friends, in reading through the comments it’s clear that everyone’s Pinterest experience is different- some shared my struggle in the “one look” representation in the app, and some had the opposite experience with Pinterest feeds full of diversity! I’m glad that not everyone’s experience was as negative as mine, that’s great to here. To some, I’ve seen that my discussion of this topic came across as complaining or hating on the platform, and I do apologize for that as it was not my intention. I was aiming to start a conversation about why white/thin is the default from my experience using the app to research for this video. Yes, there are more diverse people on the app if you search with specific keywords, but my point here was that I was searching very broad fashion related terms on a new account with no search history, and it was almost entirely white and thin by default. As someone who frequently talks about inclusivity, I felt it was an important to talk about as part of my experience using Pinterest to find popular images for this video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I will continue to welcome respectful discourse and respect your opinions and experiences. 💕

@jazminwilson4389 4 года назад

I understand what she’s trying to say. But what you search, pin, follow is what will come up. It’s no different than Instagram and youtube. When I am shopping online I go to the plus size section of stores, I don’t see how that’s any different than typing in “plus size fashion inspiration” Maybe that’s just me? 🤔

@mckenziedowson1473 4 года назад

The algorithm DOES change if you interact with it in a more positive way. But you're right to call out the 'default' mode being a problem. Also you're doing amazing with your kōrero around thinspo. Keep it up, I love ya.

Also I would advise never to send in items to thread up to sell. My roommate sent in a couple items almost 6 months ago now and they keep moving her processing date further and further down into 2020. Idk if her items will ever get processed or if she will get paid for them. It looks like they only keep 40% of items sent in and trash the other 60% even if brand new or very slightly warn. The reviews on this company are just horrendous. Kind of disappointed Sierra keeps doing sponsorships with them when it sounds like they have scammed a lot of people.

@kate8158 4 года назад

Personally, I completely agree with Sierra. Sure Pinterest is algorithm-based, but in my opinion, there is still an unnecessary overabundance of the skinny white girl rhetoric (this is coming from a skinny white girl lol). I'm an artist and am constantly searching for diverse references for my work. In my experience finding good, dark-skinned references (or POC of larger body complexions) has been much more difficult and typically takes twice as long. I don't think it is right that we have to actively search for diversity and engage with it to make it a part of our Pinterest feed, it should ideally be presented as the default.

@kellygreengables3936 4 года назад

I completely agree with you. I think people are miscontruing the point of the video/Sierra's argument. But, I also think that (as mentioned by others) Sierra's argument shouldn't fault Pinterest, but the larger issue of making thin, white, and feminine the default/most available or desired image. Maybe she can make a part two??

There’s no harm in trying new hair styles (it grows back) new makeup looks (it washes off) or new fashion styles (we can take it off). We all just need to be a little more confident. I thought all of the photos were gorgeous. My favorites were the green skirt outfit and the jean shorts and white top in the car!!! Can’t wait for part 3 of buying from your followers.

It could be the algorithm? I use Pinterest in a daily basis for fashion inspo and I do have diverse representation when I look for the word fashion and related!
