When is the last time you learned something from LinkedIn?

Question

Everyone talks about going on LinkedIn because it’s good to learn from peers and network and shit but how often do you actually learn something from these influencers posting everyday?

Maybe it’s just my timeline but majority of posts are high level BS just to get likes. Once in a while there’s a good post.

Am I following the wrong people? Who should I look for to learn about sales there?

Accepted Answer

Not a damn thing. Too many bullshit polls hog up my feed.

Answer

Every day I learn that people are even more insufferable than they were yesterday.

Answer

The biggest mistake people make is not curating your feed. Get rid of the people who post BS and follow people who actually create useful content

Answer

Learn something productive? I honestly don’t think I ever have. I learned very quickly who all the asshats were though, unfollowed them and now I only follow connections I want, prospects, and target companies

Answer

I mean if you learned what NOT to do, every day.

Answer

I guess I'm either doing it right and not following enough people, or I'm missing out by not following enough people.

Answer

I have learned something nearly every day: Don't post a fucking poll if you want to remain respected.

Answer

I firmly believe that with our different life experiences you can learn something new from anyone.

Answer

Everyday -- the common learning is why the hell you should be away from LinkedIn

Answer

The biggest mistake people make is not curating your feed.
