I think this is just the current state of the job market today, though.

In order to "be successful", it requires an almost constant engagement with your curated social/online identity. And for many fields, being an attractive candidate for employment means you should have: a blog promoting your side-projects; a Twitter account engaged in networking & self-promotion; a GitHub account linked to your identity; maybe even a YouTube channel; and, of course, a highly polished LinkedIn account.

Sure, if you have 20 years of experience and plenty of industry connections, this might not apply. But for anyone else? Hustle, hustle, hustle + Promote, promote, promote. Personally, I find it pretty gross...
