I refuse to believe that. The Linkedin cringe is from posts that are optimised to go viral on Linkedin (consciously or not); no-one writes in that style sincerely.
LinkedIn cringe comes from people imagining situations to align with a certain narrative and writing it in a way they think how it'd look like if it came from the heart.
When’s the last time your heart told you to post “today I went for an interview. [insert bullshit here] I was rude to a passerby’s dog. [more bullshit] The dog was the interviewer.”?
LinkedIn slop has a certain smell to it like no other spam does. I’m still puzzled as to why anyone does it - *surely* everyone from the cohort you wish to attract is familiar with it and sees right through it? Even for marketing positions I don’t see how this can translate to other, actually-profitable venues since this kind of content wouldn’t work anywhere else.
