Doesn't it just show that non-members dislike walls? In this case the requirement of an account. I think it would be a bad idea to rate Netflix and Discord based on how non-users experience them.

Netflix and Discord don't tease people with content that appears to be available until you click anywhere near them and get all the black patterns vomited out over you.

Google Image search is almost useless if you don't block out crap sites like this.

Netflix absolutely does this.

They do.

So your issue is with Google and not Pinterest then.

Except for, netflix and discord aren't SEO spam and don't pollute search results.

They don't? If I google the name of a TV series to get more information about it, several streaming platforms that have it, including Netflix, take the first spots of the results, although I have no interest in that spam because I intend to pirate it.

this hasn't been my experience. streaming sites tend to rank much lower than IMDb, RT, Wikipedia, etc. If you already intend to pirate, wouldn't any non-pirate site be irrelevant?

IMDb, wikipedia, etc usually are what I'm looking for when I search for a series' name.

Agree. Pinterest is a valuable service for logged in users.
