LinkedIn is full of posts that are put up by employees that are filled to the brim with either extreme compassion / extreme empathy / self congratulatory likes/comments on their bosses or higher ups in the company.
Its just so artificial.
Also, the point I was making was in response to the parent comment lamenting that opening up twitter for longer posts will lead to it becoming another Linkedin or Medium. My point was that the social structure and context of Twitter will never allow that to happen because (as I expanded) the social structure and context of LinkedIn and Medium are very different.
I am not really sure why you are questioning me.

Oh. Like Elon Musk or Sundar Pichai? Or their managers or team leaders or boss's boss? > Its just so artificial. I can assure you the former is rampant all over social media including twitter and the latter is rampant in actual workplaces. I'm questioning you because I wanted to learn more about what you wrote. I accept you like twitter and think linkedin is a cesspool, it's just not clear to me exactly why that is.
