It’s a shame too. In my experience LinkedIn has been great for job hunting, indeed et al. were worthless time sinks for me. I want to keep it just for the ability to job hunt and get results but as you said…it’s a risk too.
- V-2 4y agoThat's the only thing it's good for, but that thing actually works. My last three job offers were from LinkedIn (I ultimately rejected one because my employer at the time gave me a counteroffer when I handed my notice, but I did accept the other two). The "content" on LI (feelhgood / motivational BS) is do ridiculous that I sort of contempt-read it ("hateread" would be to strong a word) for the heck of it, but I can't wrap my head around WHY people would participate in this nonsense for real.
- Forgeties79 4y agoYeah I really don’t see any appeal beyond jobs (my current job came from it). The content is just SEO/personal branding fodder.
- rurp 4y agoWhen I first signed up for LI I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the actual feed and a what I imagined a parody site would look like. The posts that proclaim themselves to hold controversial ideas, followed by the most banal cliches possible, crack me up. Once in a while I check the feed for kicks and it's always 100% spam, cliches, humble brags, and not-so-humble brags.
