Why do people still publish articles on LinkedIn?

Fiat World is still a thing. I straddle both world right now. There are people starting to realize that thing are wrong. Plus, the AI hysterics is pretty entertaining. I don’t post any nostr or bitcoin stuff as it gets shadowbanned, but it’s good to understand the vibe and engage strategically.
It's a pretty terrible place, an algorithmic shit show. But it's also the largest collection of normie developers, system engineers, data scientists.. etc, across all industries. Yes it's filled with ridiculously misinformed takes on AI and Bitcoin, but where else are you going to engage with people with different perspectives on these topics?
You could argue that you should just ignore them, that it's a waste of time. But I would rather understand perspectives from all sides then use them to sharpen my own.
I wish there was another place to have pragmatic discussions about applied technology, but nothing else exists. There is no basic ass business of technology forum out there. I’d say HN is probably the nearest thing. It’s sad but conversations on the internet is fucking dead.
