This is the only logical explanation I can think of rn. Every fucking thing I Google these days has Pinterest links on the SERPs. WTF?

Could Pinterest have bribed Google Devs?

I also noticed! Pinterest is being too dominant in the Serps. I've done searches today with Pinterest getting 6 results on the first page.

Curiously, in recent days I've seen this notice: https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/19/21296636/google-keen-pinterest-rival-ai-machine-learning

Let me take a look at the article, there has to be a reason for this.

Google has screwed up so badly this time.

I noticed this too lol especially in image search. It’s strange since google are launching a similar image sharing service. Maybe they’re being more liberal to gain some intel on how pinterest works so well.

Lol. All Area 120 apps are always discontinued later on so I don't think this one (Keen) would be any different.

It's definitely a glitch in their Algo, but o well, let's hope they're gathering data for their new Pinterest-like app.

Yes @bartosimpsonio brokered this deal, and he got paid in bitcoin hence there’s no paper trail to prove this happened

He needs to give us our own share of the deal else, we'll spill the truth out.

@bartosimpsonio you're summoned here.

I know you guys wanted a conspiracy theory.

I'm sorry but I'll have to disappoint you. Because this isn't a conspiracy at all, in fact Google does get commissions from some of their traffic via B2B deals.

Do they have a specific deal with Pinterest? I donno.

But for sure they do with some other large sites. Not to mention their own properties which always got a free ride on the SERPs.
