I have never read a good post on LinkedIn. Not one, ever. For me, it has always been motivational quotes and self-applauding stories.

One time somebody actually drunk LinkedIn a whole bunch of shit on their coworkers, that was pretty funny. The post was obviously deleted afterwards.

    I think the author is drunk HN a whole bunch of shit on this site. They may soon delete their post and you will never get your answer! ;)

So you don't follow Hank Green on LinkedIn? He's conquered most other social media sites, and now has his sights set on LinkedIn. He's brilliant.

  Is he still posting there? I would’ve guessed that project is on halt with him having cancer and all.

“I’m humbled to announce that I was nominated as one of the ‘40 under X top Y in the USA. I’m reminded of the famous quote from Dr Martin Luther King, where he said: ‘Yes’.”

I find that the “LinkedIn experience” has a direct, causal relationship to the people you connect to and follow. Turns out, when you connect to the kind of people who post Facebook memes, you’ll end up seeing a lot of Facebook memes. When you connect to, and follow, nothing but recruiters, you end up with a lot of bad recruiter-spam. When you do neither, and when you actually meet and connect with thoughtful people, you can find thoughtful content.

I only post useful links, tutorials, cool demo videos, actual best practices or lessons learned. You do have to adhere a bit to the "house style" (lots of exclamation points! And emojis! And "shoutouts"!) The real problem is LinkedIn is happy to ignore my own posting style in figuring out what I want to see. Everybody else wants chicken soup for the spul nonsense so that's all I get served. It's already hard enough to find genuinely useful blogs and content, burying it in pap and self-promotion is algorithmic malice.
