Forgive me, for I have become the Hacker News curmudgeon and armchair-know-it-all. Subject matter aside, this piece's journalism brought me much ire. Did they really need Pinterest's failed acquisition to contextualize this article? It's not even discussed save for a throwaway comment at the end. Pinterest has been an annoyance to image searchers for a long time, are they suggesting that somehow PayPal didn't know, and upon discovery they too concluded, "Pinterest sucks and it has utterly ruined photo searching on the internet." Is a HN thread with 24 upvotes now a means of "pleading" with Google engineers [0]? Am I just getting mad at a low-quality, click-baity online magazine?
