Not sure it's still a flaw when it's so trivial to derank, Google could manage it on the barest of whims.
- Dah00n 3y agoExploit is likely the wrong word as it isn't Pinterest doing something shady. It is more of a Google flaw and I'm sure Google sees it for what it is and hence they don't de-rank a site for doing nothing wrong. But yes, they could fix it. However if it keeps you searching maybe they don't want to.

It is more of a Google flaw and I'm sure Google sees it for what it is and hence they don't de-rank a site for doing nothing wrong. I don't think argument takes exploit off the table. It just doesn't address it. Same thing for Pinterest's shady behavior.
- Dah00n 3y agoI don't see any shady or exploit-y SEO at Pinterest. Unless I'm missing something the problem is strictly a Google problem.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> I don't see any shady or exploit-y SEO at Pinterest. Let's clarify this. Do you believe 1) Pinterest did not intentionally modify it's actions in any way to dominate Google's image search or 2) Pinterest's purposeful actions to spam Google images wasn't shady or exploit-y ?
