I'm really uncomfortable with the commercialization of the job application process. A resume was at least somewhat platform agnostic (especially in the paper resume era). Platforms like LinkedIn (and now TikTok, I guess) are able to create a captive audience of users by getting employers to use their services. The free market idea of "if you don't like the product/service, vote with your wallet and don't use it" is hard to defend when said service is required to apply for a job at an unrelated third party.
