That makes sense. Both in terms of their market and how you could integrate it with your work.
That being said, its not a very a good visual search engine, I am thinking more in terms research type work and I understand that’s not how people use Pinterest and their needs maybe be focused on more general tasks and Pinterest features are good enough for the mass market.
For some reason, whenever I encounter Pinterest the first thing that comes to mind is a Potemkin village. The internal contractions of their platform are just jarring. Their whole business works on images of others, yet the have the most annoying system for limiting easy access to the source image and nagging for nagging to register.
Their leadership actually made substantial contribution to enabling the Rohingya genocide.
Sure they weren’t the ones burning families alive in their houses.
But IMO knowingly focusing on avoiding and limiting responsibility instead of immediately working on resolving the role of FB in the Rohingya genocide, has a level of equivalency.
This is just one example. There are many others spanning a range of areas in including fraud enablement, user harm
Btw, I am not saying I would judge everyone who works at FB. Although I feel there would be few exceptions for anyone in a somewhat senior position or above (be it an a technical or business type position).
