That'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.

- 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.
