I had liked the idea of it for moodboarding, but it seemed kind of clunky even for that given I can just copy & paste the pics into a paint program instead and see everything together more easily.
The social aspect always seemed a bit pointless to me, like, I don't need a comment section for my pin of a desk lamp I might want to buy.
Also the things its algorithm ended up pushing to me in the Home feed were way off base, lol, it was constant babies & weddings & weightloss reccs, and I had never interacted with any pins or made searches for those, it actually cheesed me off enough that I stopped using it.
I've always wanted to like Pinterest, and I'm willing to admit maybe I was using it wrong, but it just felt like a way to scrapbook pictures from random webpages.
Ooh, what @MothraCultist said. I didn't mind the images, but it was never useful looking at someone else's because it invariably led back to some article I didn't care about. So it just became a place to look at images that I could save if I wanted to. But often without any context. Or the wrong context.
