    Mass appeal?

    The two sites had very different uses, user experiences, content, and therefore, audiences.

    For a while, images all over the web had the Pinterest 'pin' feature which helped with its popularity.

    Ffffound, on the other hand, had more of a 'if you know, you know' reputation often featuring unusual navigation and niche content. I never got the impression it was trying to reach the world, sooo yeah, their lack of success doesn't surprise me when compared to that of Pinterest.
