LinkedIn is a masquerade ball dressed up as a business oriented forum. Nobody is showing their true selves, everyone is either grinding at their latest unicorn potential with their LLM BFF or posting a "thoughtful" story that is 100% totally real about a life changing event that somehow turns into a sales pitch at the end...

LinkedIn is a fucking asylum populate by the most unhinged “people” and bots. I don’t know a single serious technical person active on LinkedIn.

There's a whole community devoted to pointing out LinkedIn Lunatics!

I short the stock of companies whose leadership is wasting time posting to LinkedIn instead of… y’know… leading their org. The more they post the more I short. Similarly, the less-attached-to-reality the post is the more I short.

I wish I could say I’m making bank off this strategy - but pretty-much all the slopposters (and the most insufferable of the AI boosters) are all working for nonpublic firms, oh well.

There are people who write genuinely interesting stuff there as well.

I use block option there quite a lot. That cleans up my experience rather well.

That's the main trait of almost all social media. A parade of falsity, putting on the show for everyone else, being what you wish you were and what everyone else dreams of being or envies.

LinkedIn is about boasting and boosting the professional life, other social media is for the personal life. More or less equally fake.
