Underneath your sarcasm, I believe your point is that these models were sustained by paid advertising, thus Pinterest could become profitable by following the same model.
The cost of ads has plummeted in the last few years, and I seriously doubt Pinterest would remain profitable if its primary revenue stream is ads.
