    I think the main appeal is just for nudes, really.

I think it depends on the people using it.

    I've never used it in any way that resembles an in-person conversation.

Meanwhile, I have. In fact, it's the primary/basic/pretty much only way I stay in contact with my TN cousins. We've had longer conversations and we just share snippets of each other's days as well.

    people send pictures of them doing usually trivial stuff

Yeah.

I'm sure it's possible to use it that way, I'm glad at least one person is using it the way it's supposed to be used. But for me, it's a lot more convenient to just text the person with pictures.
