"This post has/had interested me so much that I even took a screenshot."

Question

Which sentence is correct?

This post has interested me so much that I even took a screenshot.

OR

This post had interested me so much that I even took a screenshot.

Has or had?

Answer 1

"Had" (this is a past tense narrative, so use a past tense)

But as with most cases of the past perfect. Just avoid it completely:

This post interested me so much that I took a screenshot.
