Their dark patterns make them money. That said, at this point, a LinkedIn competitor would look nothing like it...
- hanniabu 6y agoCurious, what do you think a LinkedIn competitor would it look like?
- ignoramous 6y agoI'm not qualified to answer that. Plus, I'm not sure I've seen it (obvious LinkedIn competition) yet, but there are shades of things that might upend the recruitment industry resulting in LinkedIn's cash cow taking a hit: Lambda School, Scaler Academy, EightFold.ai, Upwork/Fiverr, Creator economy etc
- TameAntelope 6y agoFor what it's worth, you're absolutely qualified to write an HN comment in response to that question, the stakes are low. I don't think it's a given that LinkedIn's dark patterns actually earn it money, though they certainly would appear to if you're a middle manager and your KPIs react positively.
