Agree -- inadequate soil/drainage is the likely culprit, if it isn't overwatering. Sometimes these plants respond this way to moving them and a change in lighting. You might Google your plant's "symptoms" for how to best treat.

hi! @idaclaire and @tropicbreezent the plant was potted into a ceramic pot, with normal potting soil? I'm not sure what soil I used I just used the soil that was in my house for potted plants. I moved the plant away from the direct sunlight and cut off the bad spots and it seemed to doit, but they are reappearing in Massachusetts. I think it might be nutrient burn from non filtered water...?

Does the pot have good drainage holes? Does the soil drain relatively fast? Or does the soil stay very wet?

the pot has one drainage hole, the soil stays wet but not super wet, and i don't water too often

I water maybe about 2-4oz every 2-3 weeks

These plants are epiphytes (or more correctly semi-epiphytes). Their roots grow down tree trunks to the soil but they stay near the surface usually within the leaf mulch. So there's usually a lot of air movement around the roots providing them with oxygen. When the soil they're in is heavy and poorly draining it becomes anaerobic (devoid of oxygen) and you end up with root rot. Ideally, as in nature, water should pass quickly around the root system as well as air. It would mean having the plant in a fast draining, porous potting mix and watering more frequently to make sure it doesn't dry right out. One of the results of only giving a little water is that you can get a build up of mineral salts in the soil which itself starts to become toxic to the plant. The key to successful growth is having the right soil, a fast draining soil. Once you sort that out your plant will be unstoppable.

Looks remarkably like photo-oxidation (sunburn) to me, Jordan.

id say that you might be putting it in direct sunlight which would cause the brown, crispy edges. Try and leave it in indirect light with a soil that has optimal drainage (perlite might help). Pothos are very resilient so if you neglect watering it for a week or so, give it some lukewarm-semi-cold water until the soil/water does not run Through the pot. You will know when it’s had enough water when the soil does not drizzle. Also, make sure that the soil dries before putting it back because it is prone to root rot.
