LinkedIn getting dumber by the week?

Maybe it's me, but it feels like the content on LinkedIn is getting dumber and dumber by the week.


People are spamming the platform with their dumb polls and posts to get the maximum amount of attention and boast about themselves and the companies they are working for.


The worst are those who believe that their connections belong to their "family" and that it makes sense to write about their worries in life. Heck, I saw a guy who posted a video of his dad in hospital battling cancer and almost dying....


The extent to which certain people go just to get attention and position themselves as "good/competent" people is beyond me.....


Sorry for the outburst, but am I the only one who thinks that the content on LinkedIn is going in the wrong direction?

@WCK has a weekly post in which he sheds some light on the lack of brain cells in LinkedIn these days. Worth the read, I always get a chuckle out of it.

At the very least their dumbassery serves as entertainment for the likes of us to shit on.

I realized it over the past 2 years when my feed started getting clogged with unwanted political rantery that you'd THINK would have no place on a purported business-focused platform where you just might not want to alienate potential employers or employees or alert them to your ridiculous posturing.  The realization?   That a shocking percentage of people are irredeemably STUPID.

My husband and I had a whole conversation about this the other day cause I've been trying to get him more active on LinkedIn, but he's so turned off by it because 90% of people are fake as fuck.

You are absolutely spot on, LinkedIn has been SUCH trash lately.  The best is this new wave lately of "anti-salespeople" bullshit talking bad about people who connect and pitch, like, that's the WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF LINKEDIN, to network and sell.
