They must have changed their paywall behavior, I just went and was able to see every image I clicked on.

The login popup appears after a few pages but you can just exit out and keep viewing. Google should be able to index the pages without access issues

Maybe that previous aggressive login screen killed their SEO before, I see much less pinterest images than I used to years ago

it 100% did, google removed over half the twitter links on its index due to dead links/login requirements, which if kept like that would basically kill all Twitter traffic since most traffic comes from search engines
