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.
