I know that, but I think these hiring posts should allow comments. It is suspicious to me that they don't.
If these companies are truly as great a place to work as they claim to be, then they should be able to very easily defend that in a comment thread. The silence from a lack of discussion on these hiring posts is deafeaning.
- causalmodels 3y agoThey’re not posts, they’re native ads.
- pdntspa 3y agoThen they should allow native comments
- paulddraper 3y agoAre there comment sections on linked in jobs? Indeed? Of course not don't be silly
- antonvs 3y agoNeither of those are discussion sites. The real issue is one of expectations: those kind of job ads are shoehorned into the site’s format, but then seem out of place because they don’t offer one of the most basic and central features that this site offers.
- paulddraper 3y agoLinkedIn is as much a discussion site as this
- red-iron-pine 3y agocorporate virtue signaling is not commentary
- antonvs 3y agoPresumably you can’t be referring to the constant stream of self-serving posts with all the substance of an MLM marketing pitch. So what have I missed about LinkedIn? Can you point me to an example of one of the discussions?

- pseudalopex 3y agoCan it be called rationale really? Saying job ads aren't intellectually interesting is an argument against job ads. Not for blocking comments. It was a business decision obviously.
