Hopefully it'll never happen: Pinterest has no intention of letting users find better sources for the images; if they bought Tineye they would either kill it or make it point the first result pages to images hosted on Pinterest.
Seconded, thirded and fourthed; Pinterest results make image searches a nightmare!
Actually there is a browser addon called "unpinterested" which filters out all pinterest results, and it works well, but for some reasons it's not compatible with Google Maps, so you may want to disable it when using GMaps.
That or other sites could match/outdo Pinterest in image search optimization.
I think the content on Pinterest is pretty thin, but when I want to see pictures of oddly specific things (e.g. finished basement ideas) it returns a lot of visual results to scroll through
i keep seeing these pinterest complaints. i haven't gotten any, what are you guys looking up? pumpkin spice latte results are gonna turn up pinterest results for sure. ymmv
Pinterest is filled with ads. I wonder if it's for data on what people are interested in and perhaps have an opportunity to finance a customers purchase.
FedNow instant payments are rolling out in 2023, obsoleting anyone who settles payments instantly today (Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, etc). Have to go upmarket to survive. PayPal buying Pinterest is an attempt to evolve into Etsy, Shopify, or Instagram with a Buy button, getting paid to facilitate the value transfer.
