    Blame Google's algorithm for putting it in front of the wrong audiences. Or perhaps, blame Pinterest for SEO-engineering that outcome? I'm not sure.

    I have visited Pinterest over a hundred different times and I have never once left satisfied. I find it on Google searches, and it's always like stumbling into a crazy person's attic. There's something related to my search, with no context, in the middle of a dozens of completely unrelated things. No links. No information. No sources. Why does this even exist? Who knows!

    It makes no sense to me that these pages are public, let alone indexed. It seems like it should work more like email or evite or something: either personal or shared to a small number of people.

    I would like to find the original image in its original size and download that, not go in a circle of pinterest links. Idk why that was a common experience for me

    i think because it infests google image searches. you need to use a prompt to remove results which i always forget to do.

    otherwise i use it for outfit ideas and to check out goth/metal aesthetics so it's not entirely useless.

    I liked Pinterest because categorizing images of my fandom is fun. However, their bullshit with advertisement is insane.

    On the app, you see around 4 images a time. 3 out of 4 are advertisement gifs, videos or images of companies like Disney. Fuck their bullshit.

    EDIT: Solution seems not to work unfortunately. So close to just quit using the entire shit.
