Why isn't my pinterest Pin It button working any more for YouTube videos?

[Digger]

I have the same issue. At least two others indicated the same on Twitter last night. I "Submitted a request" to Pinterest Support, detailing the problem. You may want to do the same by clicking on "Help" in the "About" drop-down menu next to your user name at the top of your Pinterest boards page. After clicking on "Help," click on "Support," then on "Submit a request" at the top of the page. Under "What do you need help with?" in the drop-down menu, select "Businesses & Websites," then "Websites," then "Blocked Site."

It looks like most of the Pinterest staff is off for the Thanksgiving holidays, so this problem may take some time to be resolved.

Speaking of "Thanksgiving," we can be grateful that YouTube seems to be the only site affected at this point

UPDATE:

Just received this email from Pinterest:
