Pinterest is constantly getting in the way of actualy useful image searches, tricking you to click on them, asking you to 'sign up!' after 2 seconds, you just cannot see or use fucking anything on that cancer ass website, they are absolutely terrible.

In my opinion it is actually Pinterest themselves that have scoured the internet with bots that are automatically pinning every image they can find just to drive traffic to their site. I obviously have no proof that this is the case but I surely wish some organization would take this on as a challenge and prove that I am right and sue the crap out of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954164004088523382.post-32878567858548934232018-03-01T08:19:12.049-07:002018-03-01T08:19:12.049-07:00I just googled "Pinterest has ruined the inte...I just googled "Pinterest has ruined the internet". :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954164004088523382.post-50140551052913103752018-02-23T15:42:39.297-07:002018-02-23T15:42:39.297-07:00+ one million. ty+ one million. tyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954164004088523382.post-76178681128816700202018-01-25T10:04:25.173-07:002018-01-25T10:04:25.173-07:00Thanks, Lea.

They are not doing anything to fix this problem. I too am fed up with Pinterest junking up my Google searches. I do a lot of sewing/crochet/knitting and since I am self-taught, I use Google Images search a lot for ideas and techniques. But I just did an image search for "crochet vintage hat" and 5 of the first 6 results were PINTEREST. This is garbage. I hate Pinterest - it's nothing but pictures with dead links. If I want Pinterest results, I'll search on Pinterest. Google is ruining its search engine by allowing this. But apparently small business owners are using this to their advantage, deliberately creating Pinterest boards with specific key words so they will show up top on Google! And Google is allowing this! This seems to be a growing problem and if enough of us don't complain to Google, it's not going to stop.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11646998184348102922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954164004088523382.post-173203273923096462017-11-21T21:59:01.182-07:002017-11-21T21:59:01.182-07:00YOU.
