      I seriously don’t understand why anyone would use it. It’s basically a platform that copies images from the internet and lets you bookmark them. Something browsers had since the 90s. Or you could just download the pictures to a folder, so you can see all the thumbnails.

      And I never understood how to use it. If I click on a Google result from Pinterest I’m always taken to something completely different.

        If you use kagi you can just permanently block Pinterest. And any other site you want. Or rank their listings lower.
