Your whole dipshit rant falls apart at "Pinterest does not have the image as I understand it" for two reasons - it's not true and it illustrates you lack the basic skill of "right click -> open image in new tab" to see that it's hosted on Pinterest's CDN for every pin.
But keep ranting about something you clearly are extremely ignorant about.

You apparently lack any understanding of the point I'm making. But go ahead and flex the image of superior knowledge you do not have or might have but is useless without that understanding because you are answering questions I am not asking.
It not a question of SEO, it is a question of the value of SEARCH !
I do not have nor want to have a account with pinterest. Nor do I care how or why they do what they do... Who cares. No original content. Nothing to do with my query or point
My topic/issue is with search and google relating to pinterest and you are focused only on pinterest and seo. And you are no help. Go screw with some other thread.
It is about the value of search . Stop trying to make it about something else you may have knowledge of so you can sound like you are smart. Get smarter.
To everyone else...
Before google changed their algorithms some 8 years ago, search would bring up many facebook posts on page 1 and facebook is the same kind of closed entity (requiring a account to read/see the post), google had stopped this some time ago. Perhaps many were not around for that .
How relevant is a search link if you can't read it. You would end up with the first pages of results you likely could not read without a individual account for each.
If I wish to search Pinterest for images, I can set-up a account and go there and search their database. Same as Facebook. but I can see the value in showing links to people or place search to relevant facebook accounts.... i.e. Denver Chamber Of Commerce, John Doe etc. Think of what results you might get with all the content of other closed entities like Twitter and Facebook included the same way as pinterest who has no original content.
Notice all the 'Account Only' newspapers do not get top search results, if any, unless they release a publicly available portion (as a content teaser inciter to get a account 'but with original content'), so why is pinterest exempt from this in google search ? (Answer that smartass, it has nothing to do with seo, but I'm sure it's helping a bad situation get worse, but it's on google).
In any case, I will continue to use google image search with the filter -pinterest until they fix it. I'm fine with that. And it's simpler than even explaining the problem to some. I'm not joining pinterest to find the original content poster who still may not be the original author. Pinterest is just fogging the results with people who like images that may not be relevant at all because of a text tag not necessarily provided by the original content poster. I can also see where pinterest is manipulated for the same in the future. Blowing a big whole in good search results and a new problem for others sites legit seo.
It is about the value of search that is diminished .
What good is it if it takes you 20 pages of search results to find it. Same problem we had in the earlier days of the more modern internet and we thought google had fixed that.
...Oh well...
