“Pinterest needs to be removed from Google IMO”

It's a bit more than that. (Or all newspapers behind a paywall would be blocked).

The problem is that, even with a logged in Pinterest account, clicking on a Google image search result doesn't take you to the image. Sometimes the image will be on the page, but not always. Sometimes have to perform another search on Pinterest to find the item.

Here's an example where the image is below the fold. There are plenty where the image can't be found without a search on Pinterest.

I quite like the idea of Pinterest but the hyper-aggressive signup stuff (especially for mobile users) is really off-putting.

I was under the impression that the current X-Articles-Free implementation of newspaper paywalls everywhere was a Google-friendly compromise.
