Does anyone else feel like LinkedIn is even more dull now that we have the WR?

LinkedIn is important for prospecting, always has been , always will be.
Our hope is that the WR is your virtual sales floor to hang with the homies, talk shop.

I agree, I think we get to talk shit we really wanna talk about here because it's our safe space. LinkedIn is just for business professionals, and it's best to keep as is.
That was so poetic and true.ย
insert safe space meme here
I like that there is the anonymous piece to it too. Makes others feel like they can ask the questions they want to ask but couldnโt before on LinkedIn such as advice on changing jobs and how to deal with other company issues as well without repercussions.ย
100% love the honesty in here
you sum it up pretty well in your LI posts - the war room gives us a space to share candid feedback without concern of being cancelled or judgedย
As a guy working from home this is how I feel and why I like it here.
LI will always have a place. As much as I love WR I can't prospect into customers using it. However, just browsing through my LI feed has gotten a bit ridiculous. It's mainly just becoming facebook/instagram/Twitter with influencers, "New LI feature. Double click to see it!", and political nonsense.ย
I've always found LI incredibly dull. I feel like I'm reading robot and AI posts every time I scroll through the newsfeed. I hate the lame, copy and paste (fake) stories, virtue signalling, worthless political commentary...ย
@sahilย posted about the War Room today and some of the comments he got were nauseating.ย

Can you share the link to the post if you know where to find it?ย
I'm kinda grossly curious. Would you mind sharing?ย
You guys are like three months late lol, I don't have the linkย
Eh- still like it (LinkedIn) for prospecting and research, has its value there....but as far as engaging and commenting with people, that has changed drastically, IMO...WR to get back on the sales bullshit
Yeah all of the cool people migrated over here. All of the chumps are on LinkedIn drinking Gary V's kool-aid
I see the WR as some sort of safe place I want to chat and learn from peers from all over the world.ย
LinkedIn is lame in general besides jobsย
LI is fast losing it's appeal, IMO. War room is great, but won't ever be like for like
Iโve always really like LinkedIn and was in sales there for a good amount is time. That said, I really love having a level of anonymity in WR and being able to fully speak my mind. ย Itโs also refreshing to not see all of the self-congratulatory posts Iโm used to. ย
LinkedIn has it's purpose. I don't think it's going away any time soon.
Where you have influencers saturating Instagram and other mediums, we have "thought leaders" saturating LinkedIn. Quite frankly, I like it better here!ย
100% agree with this... Linkedin stopped being ''interesting'' a long time ago.ย
Could you be more specific in terms of that dullness you feel? If anything, it's hotter than it's ever been in my very own pov.
I couldnโt agree more - though I think people have started to get LI Burnout. I have LIโd my balls off the past 18 months. WR is welcomed reliefย
Agreed, and there's so many more "influencer" types now on LinkedIn sometimes wading through my feed is a pain in the ass!
I only use LinkedIn for finding contacts or validating contacts on ZoomInfo. I donโt even scroll through my home feed anymore. Sorry not sorry.ย
Agreed, although I find myself interacting much more on LI since I get used to it in WR.
I like LinkedIn from the perspective of having an online reputation that you can actively manage and is wildly accessible to most, but I already post in the WR way more than I do on LinkedIn bc I feel way less restricted.ย
I hate that Linkedin has these new polls. I see every other post is a poll and most of them the time it isn't relevant like who will win the Euros finals...... This isn't Facebook it's Linkedin...... God that feels good to get off my chest.ย
Also, War room is way better. ABCย
honestly its dead to me and when the boomers die out so will Linked in
I feel that LI has migrated more to a place where everyone is trying to out bullshit each other with made-up titles (is it me or is everyone seemingly a career/life coach on that platform now?) or they pitch you something you don't need or want the moment you accept their connection. There's still business to be had on LI, but you've got to be authentic and spend time on it.
If I have to scroll and read another rags-to-riches story from some CEO who had their business handed to them on a silver platter, I will absolutely lose my shit.ย
This is my bitching space and I love it.ย

Itโs very dull to say the least. I use it for prospecting and thatโs literally about it.
I find LinkedIn useful - make sure to use more tools
gotta pay
