Keep in mind, there's no evidence Google has ever accepted money to influence organic search results.

Back then it probably would have been more like 0.02% of Google's revenue. Also this has been a problem for years, when Pinterest was an even smaller company. A few hundred million dollars would be like 0.1% of their revenue. Google (Alphabet) made $257 billion in revenue in 2021. The most they could possibly afford to pay Google is a few hundred million. That includes running their platform, paying their >2000 staff, marketing and sales to advertisers. Their total expenditures in FY21 were $2.2 billion. Pinterest is a public company so their financials are public. This doesn't make sense if you think about it for 5 seconds.
