Does anyone use #LinkedIn? Any thoughts?

I've noticed how it's turned into an influencer platform and people are posting all kinds of social content, but less and less related to business and networking.

Almost feel like some people are trying to have the better LinkedIn page (likes, followers) rather than a networking and career tool?

I do use LinkedIn, but lately I have been feeling the same as you. It looks like it’s becoming more and more a social media platform rather than a networking and business platform. Not sure how I feel about it.

It’s shite and full of desperate eejots 🤷‍♂️

Serious. Some of my connections (executives & "business leaders") seem to be on it and post non-stop. Almost a competition it seems.

It is an excellent marketing and content tool, I totally agree, but posting about your daily cappuccino, the rude flight attendants and what laptop you got with the onboarding process? 🤔

It’s a crock of shite. And they’re the froth on top 😂

Froth. Nice one.

I’ve noticed that as well. I would love to see the people I follow on LinkedIn post about business related things and not so much about other things. I mainly use LinkedIn as a place to connect with previous employees that I’ve worked with and new ones. Also use it to learn about the business world ✨
