This. Linkedin is garbage, yet I still use it because there are no competitors. This is what happens in a monoculture.

Do you really want a “competitor” to linkedin? Do you really want to have to make and manage accounts on multiple sites because you need a job and you don’t know which a company uses?

Isn’t it better to have a single place you check when you need a job because everyone else is also there?

Do you really want a “competitor” to Facebook? Do you really want to have to make and manage accounts on multiple sites because you want to chat with someone and you don’t know which social media that person uses? Isn’t it better to have a single place you check when you need to chat with someone because everyone else is also there?

As someone who doesn't, and never has, had a linkedin. What would a "competitor" look like? There's plenty of job boards. What are you using linkedin for?
