I'm a Kagi user so i genuinely forgot that Pinterest still exists. Thank you, Kagi.

I can’t remember if Kagi auto blocks it or if I blocked it completely on my first search, but I haven’t seen Pinterest trash in search results on literal years. <3 Kagi.

Pinterest has the honour to lead the leaderboard from #1 tot #7 in the blocked domain list. https://kagi.com/stats?stat=insights https://kagi.com/stats?stat=insights

  Fun to look at the remaining sites. TikTok (hated by HN as we can see on the other thread today; possibly people banning themselves from the rabbit hole) Anti-news propaganda sites (Fox, Breitbart, Daily Mail, NY Post, and the much less offensive but more sloppy MSN) Quora (like Pinterest, unusable without an account but shows the logged-in answer to googlebot. Ought to be against the rules but isn't) Other low quality help sites with good SEO (w3schools, not great but usable in the way that Quora isn't) "Lowered" (dropdown) has similar sites in a different order. "Raised" has Reddit, Stackoverflow, and HN. Highest raised news is NYT.

  That list is so hilarious and so vindicating. It feels great to know so many other people hate alternativeto.net. I wish we had a prominent place to name and shame sites like these.

  I would probably get along with the typical Kagi user, many of those are complete pollution with no redeeming qualities.

The ability to (1) block all Pinterest domains in image search and (2) click an image hyperlink and get straight to the file - these two features alone are worth my annual subscription fee to Kagi.

  Brave search has similar features as well (Goggles, they call it). Fantastic to block sites that game SEO but don’t actually find what you want (Amazon, eBay, Pinterest, etc)

  Genuinely. If Kagi removed the ability to filter out trash domains, I'd stop using it. It's the only way to get real and useful results in a post-SEO world.

This is the most convincing reason to use Kagi I've heard yet.
- estimator7292 8mo ago
  It's usually the top reason people give when recommending Kagi. I can't imagine search any other way.

Is there literally any reason why Google favours Pinterest so much? It's just seems purely bad for Google.
