I do a lot of image searching with Google...
As time has passed the last 4 or more years,
It now seems 80% of the images that Google returns on a image search are PINTEREST links.
The problem I have with that is getting the corresponding text from a original posting.
Pinterest does not have the image as I understand it and you may be able to find the original posting after many clicks even if you choose the right ones. But I'm not signing up for a account with Pnterest just to track down what Google should have showed me in the first place.

So, either this breaks copyright or they have no original content and that is what I am seeking, the original content poster. Is this not just plain pure making money from someone else's work ? I can't see the fair use.

I can only think that Google owns or has some controlling interest in Pinterest.
Are they not suppose to be giving priority to original content ?

Can anyone enlighten me ?

Oh... the short fix is to search for images with a '-pinterest' but my point remains.
Using that could possibly remove original content where they are mentioned in the pages.
