The main cause behind Linkedin being cringe is because it's fake and phony. There's so much fake positivity, humbleness, appreciation, virtuousness and empathy from every part of the corporate world now. This used to be at least guarded amongst upper level management, who endured this garbage but at a great financial gain. Now this corporate cringe has penetrated the general public. People who are making peanuts are talking about "synergy", "innovation" and "disruption".

- seattle_spring 5y ago"Disruption" is such a ridiculous nothing word. I had a recruiter solicit me for a job at a place that would be "disrupting the aviation industry." The company she represented? Fucking Boeing.
