Serious question, what is Pinterest actually for?
Like a virtual corkboard or whatever?
As far as I can tell it's a tool for ruining the usefulness of Google Image Search. That's all I've ever seen it used for.
This is very reductive, it's also great for finding wallpapers
I use it mainly to find inspiration for home renovations. I have big plans lol
Really you can use Pinterest to find inspiration with any project that involves some creativity.
i used it for art reference, now i just search things up, which is significantly less convenient
reason i stopped using it is because over half of the images there nowadays are AI-generated, not useful.
Personally, I use it to find recipes and keep them all in one place.
My partner uses it for art/drawing inspiration and it seems good for that
My mom uses it for finding and saving recipes.
I sometimes use it for references for RPG character ideas and medieval craft projects
i use it for more shitposting material there's a lot of funny stuff on there
