I think most people here would ask you to please stop, myself included! It has made finding images on the web much worse. Pinterest results are only really relevant to pinterest users, right? Do you see any ethical problems with your approach?
- joshenders 5y agoI’ve been exposed to data on this for years and I can say concretely that the average user is getting more relevant image search results than ever before… many just happen to be “search optimized” and “proxied” by the same punching bag, Pinterest. Sign up is free but if you’d rather not, just close the sign up nag.
- aspenmayer 5y agoThe average user likely is just as frustrated as those posting in this thread, but without the context needed to appreciate how much Pinterest spam there is in Google Image Search results relative to prior search results. Being hamstrung on both sides like this, I’m sure those users find what Pinterest floods the search results page with, but I wouldn’t assume that is synonymous with them “getting more relevant image search results than ever before.” Thanks for your patience in these threads, by the way. Not trying to dogpile on you or Pinterest.
