Can’t stand LinkedIn. At least weekly I’m told I should post there but every time I open it it’s the same bullshit over and over. C-levels talking about culture or DEI crap, coaches telling you to just do X or Y to be more successful, empty platitudes of thanks, or some idiot ideas about how the metaverse or other new technology is going to revolutionise the workplace in 3-5 years.

There’s no real insights being shared and no theses that can be compounded on, it’s basic bitch play-it-safe corpo speak with everyone worried about saying something which will get them sacked.

The most useless social media

If you could build LinkedIn from scratch what jobs-to-be-done would you be hiring LinkedIn to do for you?

Simp-o-meter. Auto ban if you pass a certain threshold!

This is bang on. I deleted all social media about 4 years ago (didn’t start using bird App until late 2021) but had to keep LinkedIn due to work. I rarely use it and look forward to being in a position to purge it completely.
