Why use a Pinterest Group Board?

Pinterest Group Board was designed to help Pinners cooperate with people they know. In the past, people adopted Group Boards to raise the distribution of their Pins, as people following any of the members of your Group Board would be more likely to view your Pins in their feed.

Since that was not the goal of Group Boards, Pinterest has started restricting the distribution of Pins in Group Boards to the members of that Board only – supporting true cooperation.
