LinkedIn-fluencers

I swear my LinkedIn newsfeed is absolutely pelted with self proclaimed "Influencers" spewing bs anecdotes searching for likes and "OMG Well Said!" comments. You know who they are.


And they

All

Write

Their posts

Like this


I feel like we all know their 'content' is bs and self promoting spam, yet publicly everyone keeps on being like "WOW Preach!!!" "So True" "Agree 100%"


Am I crazy here? Who else sees this for what it is?

LI turned into a facebook like fest years ago. I see the news feed as a giant waste of time. I mainly use it to creep on prospects and find titles.

The only good thing I like is that I can see when people leave so I can reach out and sell to them again at their new companies.ย

You are spot on with this take. I respect the hustle, but can't bring myself to take them seriously at all.

I certainly understand why they do it because of the LI algorithm. As long as there is substance to their post, then it's fine for me.

LinkedIn is just yet another place for people to post vanity photos and virtue signal about how great of a person they are. I find it overall useless for anything other than finding a prospect's information.

We all chirp the self promoters ruthlessly. Donโ€™t pretend you donโ€™t.

I donโ€™t mind it, if they are real. During the pandemic I had a chance to talk and interview with many of the โ€˜Influencersโ€™ the percentage of them that actually live what they say is very low. Anyone that turns out to be fake. I simply unfollow. No room in my feed for fake people. Same with sales communities, what do you say you do vs. what you do. We all have X hours in the day of free time. My time is valuable Iโ€™ll try or believe any of them until they prove different. Then, Peace Out. โœŒ๏ธย
