I thought it was the virtue signalling humble brags that were the bane of linkedin. Am I the only one who thinks linkedin is like the looking glass version of Twitter?
Twitter: "So and so is so awful, gnash, boycott shame! Have you read my blog?"
LinkedIn: "That sooo resonates with me! You're such a insightful thought leader, have you read my blog?"
- kyleblarson 5y agoTotally agree. The virtue signaling in my feed is so insufferable that I stopped reading it years ago. It has basically become twitter with the vitriol replaced by fake positivity.
- slig 5y agoIs there anyone eating that crap or people are just mimicking whatever others are doing?
- iainctduncan 5y agoWell, mimicking the higher ups is like 50% of climbing the corporate ladder in big, dysfunctional organizations.... Yeah, I've always wondered the same. Maybe recruiters?
- LeCow 5y agoThat mute and unfollow button though. I do about 10 a day.
- isoskeles 5y agoCan your connections find out if you unfollow them? This is the only thing preventing me from unfollowing. I've muted a ton of people I don't know at all because their rabid self-promotion or clickbait would keep showing up in my feed. But it is usually the same list of friends liking or sharing that content.
