As a Pinterest and Duck Duck Go user, I don't know what you're talking about, but this comment feels like digital NIMBYism: "please don't exist, so I can recapture a little bit of how the past felt." Glad you found a work-around though.

Pinterest is a nice place for collecting ideas (photos) related to a hobby, in my case architecture from around the world. It's also (more commonly I think) used for coming up with style ideas, at both personal and home scales.

Pinterest is fine if you are looking for its content on its site. But if you want a direct shot to a picture and it happens to be off of Pinterest it can be rather obnoxious.

Google never promoted itself as a free image database so it's weird that people get so upset that it isn't one.

if you dont use pinterest for fun or have an account, it is the worst website on the internet, if you have to do a lot of google image searches.
