why do you dislike pinterest results?
4 comments

They're always already links to somewhere else, and behind login wall.
Because most pictures are reposts which distracts you from the actual image source you are looking for (Sometimes you want the original text that was next to the picture).

Also, since there are a lot of other pictures with titles in pinterest pages, the probability to match all keywords in your search is high even if the relevance of the main picture is low.

I want to know the origin of whatever content I am consuming. Pinterest appears to deliberately obfuscate that information.
Because I cannot access the content. So the very existence of the result is bait and switch.
