Pinterest. Fuck pinterest.
I’d add Quora to that list of fuck you websites
They added Quora+ subscription service now, you have to pay to see the actually correct answers. Free only gets you wrong answers.
The worst, hey we noticed you got a really hard to solve problem, well we got the answer right here, but we’re gonna dim it till you make an account, oh sorry that’s not really the answer thanks for the account sucker!
I made the mistake of making an account one time. Unsubscribing from all the shit they email is an unbelievably annoying task.
It's the worst. There's even a browser extension to blacklist them: unpinterested.
I had to get that because I got so tired of having to put minus pinterest in all my image searches.
I don't explicitly block any, but I usually avoid clicking on pinterest and quora links. From experience, I never get what I'm looking for even without the annoying user interface.
I mean sometimes Pinterest has images and if you use inspect element you can bypass all that shit
On mobile I 100% block Pinterest
Most of the time its still very low res when i did that.
What do people not like about Pinterest? I've actually found them very useful for finding pictures of my niche subjects
You cannot just open the image. You must log in to even see most images. Even working around this its scaled to tiny resolution. All content stolen/copied with zero credit/source but their seo outcompetes the original sources.
