Back to January 1 levels, and flatlining at last.
Many reasons for this decline might be theorized.
Fear of the Terms of Use. People realizing copyright infringement isn't so cool. More creators asking to have their content removed drives the point home. Boredom sets in from seeing the same pictures over and over. Lack of intellectual stimulation - comments are dumber than those on Youtube. Easy ramping up of followers may be exciting at first, but feel hollow when users realize how little it means. The painful realization that we can't afford the things we love. The painful realization that we don't have the time or skill to make these crafts. Collection of LOLcats seems a little silly after reading this blog. What becomes popular appears random. Spammers finding out the traffic doesn't pan out, or Pinterest slowing them down with barriers. Pinners turned off by spammers. An increase in spamming hides a ever greater decline in actual use. Hating Pinterest is trendier than liking it.
What is so special about Omaha?
The Greater Omaha area has under a million inhabitants. Why is it so clearly over-represented among Pinterest visitors? Nebraska's greatest tourist attraction is its aquifer, so a good guess would be "nothing better to do."
