I meant that people upload pictures to Pinterest and they upload pictures to Imgur, but no one would ever worry about the images they uploaded to Imgur, because it's so anonymous.

I think Pinterest has managed to attract a different crowd from Reddit/4chan. For Pinterest users, it isn't so important to know that at any moment you can retreat behind a cloak of anonymity, whereas Redditors and 4chan users regard it as a fundamental human right.

I'm glad you commented though, I agree with what you're saying and I had no idea about flicker users having a history of people pulling their stuff. That definitely changes the game.
