Pinterest has already ruined my google image search experience. They "aggregate" content from other sites that I'd actually want to read, strip them of any context, and package them up with other images behind a login wall.
- riskable 9y agoNo kidding! You used to be able to personalize your Google search results to blacklist pinterest.com but they removed that feature a while back. Now you have to type out -site:pinterest.com every single time you want to search for something or install an add-on like: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/personal-blocklist/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/personal-bloc... It's seriously annoying that they had a feature that solved the problem then they took it away. Just like removing the "View Image" button.
- leggomylibro 9y agoThis is the worst for circuit diagrams. "Great, a couple of transistors and resistors, an 8-pin IC - that looks about right. Let's just see how it works, and...oh. Nope, it's just that image, with no part numbers. And nothing else." I can only guess that some people use it as a half-assed whiteboard to remember links and stuff, and Google picks up on that. The ironic problem for Google is, the 'pin' replaces the actual useful content which the Pinterest users were originally hoping to remember for later access!
