How accurate is the belief that logged-in eyeballs are profitable, but logged-out ones aren't?
This is a new change? It's been like that for me ever since I knew of Instagram. You browse two or three images and plop you get a sign up screen.
They also use meta robots=noimageindex,noarchive on every page without an opt-out which is so incredibly stupid and walled-gardeny for an image sharing site. I wanted to use Flickr instead but nobody else uses Flickr, then I tried making my own image gallery and I learned that browsers do not honor the JPEG rotation EXIF data and I don't want to write my own rotation/cropping code (that and Google completely ignores…
Speaking of walled gardens. There is probably no service in this world that I hate more, as a non-user, than Pinterest.

Pinterest manages to do something horribly stupid and kind of abusive that I usually associates with adult sites ads: show you a preview of something that gets your interest, if you click to get access to it put you through a maze of forms and links all promising the result you asked for at the end, and then when you get to it they don't deliver and instead show other stuff you might like but really you don't because…
I've added Pinterest to my reverse image search extension [1] to avoid having to sign up when there is no alternative source for the image. It returns Pinterest search results [2], and you can access the image directly from the image icon. I plan to release the image extraction module in a separate extension, so you can just click on the page area with the image, and it opens the image in a new tab. This way you will…
This has been causing me a fair bit of inconvenience at work as I quit Instagram last year (decided it was toxic) but still need to research people/trends in my design job. Guess I'll have to create a fake profile, which in a way will have the opposite of their intended "join the community" action point.
Goodluck with that. They ask for government issued photo ID in many cases for new accounts.
