    Ah, the Pinterest strategy. Nothing makes me hit the back button or skip search results faster than a login prompt.

    I wonder if this is just a ploy to increase their “active user” counts to improve their valuation.

      Is there a search engine that will let you set a block list for certain sites? I know you can filter sites in individual queries, but there are sites that I never want to see results from for this reason.

      Since Steve Huffman idolizes Elon, just waiting for Reddit to copycat in 3… 2… 1…

      Doing this would hurt Reddit far more than the APIcalypse has, as the vast majority of people who browse Reddit, and thus view ads, are lurkers who don’t log in.

      Hah, same. I ended up downloading a browser extension that appends “-Pinterest” to every search.
