My mother-in-law at least used to use Pinterest for pulling together ideas for decorations, arts, and crafts. It seems to help her find inspiration. I figure if it is making a difference in how someone is living their life, it had at least as much merit as the bullshit that pervades most of the Internet.
True, for anyone like me who sees it as a detriment there are folk like your MIL whose life was improved by it, and I’m glad she finds it useful. And if/when it does shut down and she’s still into crafts I hope she finds a decentralised alternative that won’t succumb to the whim of shareholders.
