Congrats on making on of the most useless and toxic websites on earth.

What’s toxic and useless about Pinterest?

They pioneered the google spam with their useless website that requires a login for everything. I excluded them from all searches years ago because 75% of google image search results are Pinterest spam links.

Ah I thought the site itself was toxic that’s why I was confused. It’s mostly harmless images but yeah I agree them being everywhere in the results is annoying.
