pinterest has a chokehold on many of my friends and i don’t get it 🙈 - single-player curation is not as fun as multiplayer - how one curates and what one does with curation is far more interesting to me than the curation itself - doesn’t solve issue of choice overload despite algo - unclear how to get better

I find Pinterest refreshing because no fighting / much less status signaling

I find the algo satisfying. Like wandering down a visual Wikipedia rabbit hole of a topic I’m interested in.

Don't use Pinterest, but I'd say single-player curation is vastly superior to multiplayer. Why is multiplayer superior?

Pinterest never clicked for me. It has a LuLaRoe-esque ick factor, like walking into an cursive-filled affiliate marketing nightmare. However, I’m obsessed with the mymind extension—easy to use, clear value props, and is just a stunning product overall. Add/bookmark, “curate” with tags, crazy useful 🥰🥹

I prefer single player curation but you can definitely add multiple ppl to one board and have them all contribute When you start a board and add pins, “more ideas” gives you recommended pins based on what you’ve added Since a lot of people use Pinterest to organize inspiration it can be a great tool for brand

I use Pinterest to curate hyper-specific pop culture references…am generally satisfied with it. Tried Shuffles too which was fun for a minute

able to craft vibes - easy to search terms & got a bunch of imagery than is hard to find simply in google/other engines. Basically a default engine for visual inspiration in a bunch of very relevant domains - fashion, interior design, graphic posters, device ideas, etc.
