I loved it for getting inspired, now its a few regular ads and then 10 chinese fake products that cut diamonds, paste that glues everything possible, gives you superpowers as a bonus.
Im seriously getting tired of it.

If anyone has the time, I’d love to hear more about what people use pinterest for, because I don’t actually have any idea what it’s for but I know it’s popular. I think most people in my bubble (tech) just have it blocked from their search results.
I wanted to have it blocked from the results too, because it plagues the image search.
Its basically a pin wall, where you can organise pins (images) into collections. They had a good algo that recommended similar things for an existing collection.
I used it to look at how other people are painting their miniatures, to search for short painting tips and so on.
Like skele_tron said, I find it useful for finding images similar to existing boards/images. It’s like Instagram’s explore page, but you can look at an explore page specific to one board or one post. I haven’t been on Instagram in a while, but I think the saved posts feature didn’t have the ability to suggest (visually) similar posts there.
You can also save images in Pinterest, which I couldn’t do in Instagram. I draw sometimes, so it’s really nice to be able to download a picture and zoom in on it and have it stay that way.
On Instagram, if you like a post (subject matter, art style, mood) you just have to hope the same creator posts something similar. On Pinterest, you can scroll down below a post and it automatically gives you visually similar pretty images, by anyone.
