- tempsy 6y agoIf a site doesn't add enough value for you you aren't going to put up with it. There are certain news sites like Forbes that are so annoying that I don't deal with it. The point is LinkedIn is in a category where you "need" it but don't necessarily want it, and that dynamic allows them to do very annoying things. Sure a lot of websites can try to hold you hostage but, again, the question is whether they even offer something you need enough to deal with it.
- chishaku 6y agoI agree with you. I was just adding that most of the internet is this way, not just porn sites. We can say that most websites are on a spectrum of ad-driven BS and Linkedin (and porn sites) are further to one end. So for me, the problem is less about Linkedin and more about the difficulty of building alternative business models that are sustainable. What offering will eventually replace Linkedin and will we have to endure more or less BS?
