LinkedIn is the same as any social media. It can be gamed and if that's to the advantage of certain people then they will game it.
- gjvc 5y agoThat much is true, but the tragic comedy is in what people seem to think will actually be taken seriously / make others see them in a good light -- see https://twitter.com/StateOfLinkedIn https://twitter.com/StateOfLinkedIn for evidence.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoThis propensity for gaming everything is a very good and useful capability, when applied to the environment - to nature, to physics, to our own bodies. Roads and cars and boats exist because we've gamed our stamina. Planes and rockets exist because we've gamed gravity. Farming and drugs and vaccines exist because we've gamed microbiology. The problem starts when people are trying to game each other. This is bad, because it turns what should be a PvE game into a PvP one. With the shitty cards nature/evolution gave us, we have plenty of external challenges left to overcome; it's really sad to see and deal with people who instead want to abuse others to get ahead.
