The only time I seem to interact with Pinterest is when I’m searching for images of something on my phone, let’s say “pictures of mountains”. I want to get the image in full res so I go to the site, then I can’t copy it or download it.
From these brief interactions and exploring the site I just don’t see the appeal. Pinterest just seems like a terrible image search engine with the ‘feature?’ that every few scrolls pulls up similar-ish categories to the image search you did(Mausoleum might bring up Pharaohs for example). It could be that I’ve just never taken the time to use it properly, so I thought I would ask people: what is Pinterest good for / why does it exist.
Hopefully is not too harsh I am high atm.
I forgot it existed because some lovely person made an extension to block it ☺️
Whoever does their SEO is a genius but should also have been drowned at birth
Would you be so kind to share more about that extension please?
The one I use is called “Unpinterested!”, and is on both the Firefox and chrome extension stores. You can also use uBlacklist to block the domains.
Sweet, I see in the comments many others have an extension for this. Crazy I didn’t even think about it as an option!
There’s also one called “Personal blocklist” which is very handy.
