To me the simplest solution would be to add 'Stop showing domain' in the drop down arrow under where they currently have 'Cached' in search results. It would be useful to users and also help Google understand when a site is annoying a bunch of people.

...Or is this an opportunity for an extension someone wants ot build where you can select sites/domains and it auto injects somnething like -site:pintrest.com into all searches.

There is Google's own "Personal blocklist" extension that does exactly that

It doesn't actually.

The problem with Pinterest is in image results - the extension does nothing for them.

Second, the extension no longer works properly as it hasn't been updated in years.
