Most of my friends loathe social media and only use it in fear that if they don’t, they might be less attractive to potential employers..

- forkandwait 9y agoHow does that work? Github style contributions, LinkedIn profiles, or some sort of activity trail of planning dinner with friends on FB?
- gt_ 9y agoMost of them are in creative careers or advertising.
- bigphishy 9y agoLinkedIn is the exception, but I do my best to avoid all others corporate run due to the predatory practices against users.
- frfl 9y agoLinkedIn isn't an exception either to predatory practicies. One of the most shocking things I've witnessed my self is them scraping personal information from a google/YouTube profile and suggesting connections based on that data (I'm assuming they use some techniques to do so of you're signed into Google and LinkedIn in the same browser session)
- Nokinside 9y agoMaybe that's something that marketing people, SEO optimzers and PR people should have. At least for me having Github page, Jypyter notebook, Goodreads profile or something similar and no FB or Twitter profile sends a positive signal.
- drdeadringer 9y agoBesides the likes of LinkedIn, what do you mean? Is "Show us your Facebook Twitter Reddit" still a thing? Yes, I am a bit under a rock.
