On: Ask HN: Why does Pinterest dominate Google text search results?

[ehsankia]

This answer has never made sense to me. Pinterest breaks the 2 signals I would assume Google search to use:

1. Often, the image I'm looking for isn't the main image on the page, just one of the small thumbnails and very hard to find on the page

2. Almost every single time I click on a pinterest result, I end up going back because it doesn't help me, i assume others do the same.
