LinkedIn requires proof of identity. Not actual hard documentation, but implicitly you must represent yourself as the person you are to reap any networking benefits on offer. My point is that you are held to the standard of only saying things that you would be happy to say at work or in public. The problem is that this creates inverted echo chambers compared to those on Reddit and Twitter - full of vanity CEOs and recruiters gushing over how much value you have as a human being that they've never met and reposting the job market version of forwards from Grandma. Ultimately, my biggest problem is that I would never say there what I'm saying here because I'd be chastised for it by my colleagues and related communities, and so it will always breed a lack of honesty and integrity that will overshadow most practical discussions and posts.
