Your LI must be very different from my LI :) I see endless self promotion, but nothing that makes me mad. More like bored, so I rarely go to LI except to accept the odd connection request from someone I met IRL.
Everything else is spot on though. I go days without looking at my fairly selective twitter or reddit. HN is probably the only thing I check daily, but if I'm busy I might not even do that.
The point is use the tools and don't let them use you. Social media, smart phones, etc... are what you make of them.
- wojciii 6y agoFor some reason I get angry when reading LI. Self promotion got worse last year. People now post that they are going to change job a couple of days before job change. I don't understand why. The job offers are crap. I'm not going to move to Switzerland or Germany for 3 months gig and I don't want to work for Uber. I stopped responding to recruiters as they don't understand that I really don't want to do Java for some crappy bank. I would rather starve. End rant. HN is great. People are usually nice and often I learn something new about a topic that I didn't know.
- nicbou 6y agoI found a script that allowed me to unsubscribe from everyone. I also added some uBlock rules. My LinkedIn feed is literally empty. Like the other person who replied, LinkedIn made me angry, but I still returned to it when I ran out of things to check. Now there's nothing there to check. It worked so well that I did the same with Facebook.
