What specific piece of technical hardware shows up anywhere near the first page of results in Google that's from pintrest? I can't think of a single time I've seen pintrest in the search results and I search for various technical things all the time? Just curious since this surprises me. I thought pintrest was non technical stuff usually.
I wonder why? I know I liked having certain low value (to me) sites not clutter up my results.
A little article about the feature, sorry it is going to try to throw an interrupting DIV at you– https://searchengineland.com/google-block-sites-feature-1464...
It should, but this also illustrates a problem with Google Search that they'll need to grapple with in the future. Namely, that while they should treat all sites equally, in practicality there's not really much incentive to on their part. Think about it. Let's say Google does remove Pinterest altogether, banning the site as a punishment for 'gaming' the system. What then? The people that do search for Pinterest will…
Search for pintrest, you get pintrest. Search for "widgets," pintrist is excluded. Search for "pintrist widgets," pintrist is included.

I read it. I still don't see the problem. A popular site ranks highly in search results.
"Everyone of these results requires a signup and log into Pinterest to be able to see it" is a problem.
The problem is that, even with a logged in Pinterest account, clicking on a Google image search result doesn't take you to the image. Sometimes the image will be on the page, but not always. Sometimes have to perform another search on Pinterest to find the item.
Here's an example where the image is below the fold. There are plenty where the image can't be found without a search on Pinterest.
I quite like the idea of Pinterest but the hyper-aggressive signup stuff (especially for mobile users) is really off-putting.
I don't see the problem here. The most popular sites are showing up in search results. Pinterest is a popular site. It seems like that's the way search engines are supposed to work. If you don't like the fact that Pinterest is a popular site, fair enough -- but that's a personal opinion, and it's not a good enough reason for Google or any other search engine to suppress Pinterest images in search results.

[EDIT: nvm]
> Pinterest needs to be removed from Google IMO. They clutter the images results and do not allow users to obtain what they search for. Sounds like they are to me. It's not explicitly stated either way, but when people talk about "image results" it seems safe to assume they are taking about Google Image Search.
With Pinterest results this sometimes happens: https://imgur.com/a/ktyNG
But not always: https://imgur.com/a/RrjJG
Notice how in the second link Pinterest is asking me to log in, even though I am clearly already logged in.

What rules is Pinterest breaking? And what would it mean for Google to treat "all sites equally"?

The rule they are breaking, is that when you google for an image and they show the image, then you click through to the page.. the image is not shown. If it shows a bunch of images and you scroll down to see more it requires you to login and I never got any further than that because its just annoying, but one of the reddit users says you even have to search for the image with the original search terms again but on pi…
