Abstract
Pinterest represents a new kind of social media that satisfies distinct purposes for female consumers, even as it opens up new opportunities for advertisers. We approach Pinterest as a web-enabled form of scrapbooking and collage, where novel forms of indirect persuasion take place. An analysis of 20 pinboards with 2,291 images showed that women use Pinterest to play with possible future selves and imagine alternative consumption trajectories. The key distinction relative to traditional scrapbooking is a focus on the future rather than the past. Relative to traditional collage, the ease with which large numbers of images can be pulled off the web facilitates taste discovery. Women gather images, particularly of branded commercial products, to help refine their taste and better understand which styles match their aesthetic preferences. Because Pinterest represents a kind of ‘daydreaming out loud’, advertisers who seek to promote via Pinterest must adapt existing social media techniques if they are to be successful, and focus on opportunities for indirect persuasion.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
