I opened linked in yesterday (don’t know why) and it felt like stepping on a different planet.
It feels so disconnected from what we’re doing with nostr.
USD is worshiped via MRR growth. People congratulating themselves on acquisitions. Everyone feels so fake.
Left me with a feeling of sickness in just under a minute. Had to leave.
LinkedIn is the closest thing to feeling like an NPC social network I’ve ever been, sad really
🎯
we need #jobstr
Has the highest income users of the major social platforms - and very few poor people 
What qualifies as "high income" here?
That’s a good question- it’s likely in the article
“Additionally, 44% of LinkedIn users take home more than $75,000 per year, which is above the national median in the US.”
Guessing 6 figs
But it’s also the absence of poor people - but just the presence of rich
I wouldn't necessarily consider 75k/low 6 figs to be rich automatically (though the latter has the potential to become rich over time) but I think it'd be better to reframe it as presence of the domesticated/white-collar middle class. The type of people who had a cushy upbringing and went the traditional route (going through uni and then getting a desk job at a large corpo) in life without questioning the world around them.
I don't mean to be overly harsh in my description- I come from a similar background myself
unrelated: Really wish there was a way to edit notes, I hate posting something and noticing grammar mistakes a few minutes later
goosebumish gross - can't wait to delete it - but also need it for profile verification - often time, for a women at least, it gets an oversized ego men to shut up when they go through the portfolio - or random people who think 3rd world country people still live on trees - or as simple as you carry value on what you say if you have a "dr" title. Yet at the same time i did not bother updating academic degrees nor accolades gained in recent years because i cannot handle the braggyness - not sure what's the middle ground.
Agreed, hate that platform. So many people shamelessly self-promoting and pretending to be the person they think someone else expects them to be. I want no part of the shallow and disingenuous interactions.
Yeah it's the worst
Same for me, each time I connect I end up wasting time looking at people pretenting to be what they think corporate want them to be.
But I'm forced to use it to not reduce drastically my chances to find a good job.
