I'm not sure how spankbang got on that list but it's hilarious. Is it really a common problem like pinterest and similar stuff on that list?
If there is such thing as being "too good" at SEO, Pinterest is "too good" at SEO. It's a common complaint with image search that Pinterest will cannibalize the results. What will often happen is someone will repost an image from a website or blog to Pinterest and then when you look for images of that thing, you get the image that was reposted to Pinterest instead of the OG image.
It's supposed to be an adversarial system. Why does Google still provide Pinterest search results, given that if you follow them, you're not allowed to see the image?

This happens because Pinterest is better at categorizing images than Google is. Google should just buy Pinterest and integrate them directly into their image search. Or partner with them so this doesn't happen. Or they could do what Bing did and just copy Pinterest feature by feature.

I doubt Google wants to, but their users keep clicking on Pinterest's SEO'd results for "cute cake pop" instead of whatever non-Pinterest result Google serves up. Basically Google being outdone at their own game in this niche area.

Google special-cases their own stuff all the time. Why haven't they done that for Pinterest?

It hurts Google to allow the product to choose what customers have access to it.
Extend this to map search - If only I could exclude all starbucks, 7/11, even Denny's from my map searches for 'coffee shop'. No hate to those who like the coffee from there, but I want a proper coffee shop and if I could filter out certain chains, I would do it in a caffeinated heartbeat. This applies to not just Google maps though.
Maybe Google will make you to be able to exclude white men owned businesses in your map searches but excluding brands is not something they seem willing to do
https://www.google.com/business/identity-attributes/ "You can now help your business stand out on Google Maps and Search by displaying the Black-owned attribute, in addition to the Women-Led..."
btw, I don't see a big distinction here if I actually would like to boycott Starbucks so I better boycott Google Maps then.

#99Some basic filters for stuff that pops up all the time and is never what I'm looking for: /. pinterest. \.. / /. torrent. \.. / /. spankbang. \.. / /. mp3. \.. / /. proxy. \.. / /. block. \.. / /. addiction. \.. / /. recovery. \.. / /. detox. \.. / /. clinic. \.. / /. rehab. \.. / /. rarbg. \.. / /. hydra. \.. / /. 123. \.. / /. stock. \.. / /. linkedin. \.. / /. subtitle. \.. / /. shopify. \.. / /. dreamstime. \.. /…
God damn it. I don't want heroin detox; I want heroin.

Could someone explain why they're hated? I don't know much about E3, but used them a few times without issue
I am not sure of the current state of affairs, but in the past (5-10 years ago or longer) w3schools was known for having outdated or sometimes flat out wrong information. They often rank or ranked higher than MDN which is usually the best and most comprehensive source on the subject. So a front end dev would typically want to always see MDN over w3schools.
^^^ this basically.
