26, 295 links are from Pinterest

This has got to be one of the dumbest questions but here goes: According to the Google search console i have 29, 101 links to my site of which 26, 295 are from Pinterest going to 357 page on my site...Is that a good thing or does Google see that as spammy?

Dave Elliott: as long as you haven't paid for them i can't see google caring. It's not exactly the healthiest backlink profile the world has seen though!
Jim Munro: I'm with Dave. If you did not fake it, there should be nothing to be concerned about. That's one theory anyway. :) Your content on Pinterest is apparently good, why not push out more of it onto more channels?
Carl Harvey: I don't know how i got that many backlinks from there to be honest (no i didn't pay for them) - They keep going up by 1-2K a month!
