I used to agree with you, but I’ve recently seen some extremely mediocre engineers land some big career opportunities simply because they had cultivated an image on LinkedIn that made them a minor “influencer”.
I did a lot of laughing at the vapid, daily platitudes they would post and the dissonance between the capabilities I saw at work vs what they often claimed LinkedIn. Now I’m wondering if I am the dummy.

Nowadays though I dont think I could force myself to post the vague platitudes and false positivity. If people need or want to do it, my advice is to minimise time investment, ignore the feed and at least post with some authenticity.
