I'm not convinced that LinkedIn is doing anything but hurting me. I should probably delete mine.

The only reason I haven't yet is because a lot of job postings outright require a LinkedIn URL. I've considered putting something like `https://linkedin.dont.have.one` or something, but I don't know if that would immediately put me in the reject category.

Before anyone says it, yes, there really are a considerable number of job postings that have "LinkedIn Profile" as a required field.

I usually only go on there when I'm looking for a job or trying to update my work history/fluff up my own ego.

Sometimes I'll post like "I made this"

I still think about that Cybertruck post and the $2K/mo on salad, pretty sure it was satire but funny

Honestly, if Linkedin had anything close to that writing, I would not have left.

This is charming, but not at all like the soul-sucking content typical on LinkedIn.

Funny enough, with the advent of AI I've stopped seeing posts of this pattern.

Now instead of fake virtue signaling, I see fake expert signaling with AI.

I tried to mix up a bit of all the popular genres and formats, though I think as LinkedIn has seen more AI-written content, this sort of Lynchian fever dream story has probably become more rare.

Claude canoodle this hooligan. Make no mistakes.

The only flaw in this piece is that the narrator chose Claude. If he had chosen Gemini, Sergey Brin himself would have stepped out to personally bestow the honor of adding your business to the 'Killed by Google' graveyard.

That’s a masterpiece to LinkedIn levels, where’s the asskissing? Where’s the corpo lingo? Where’s buzzwords? Where’s the cliche sentences?! I feel like it’s a manifestation of modern work environment, if you can survive reading that cringe, you are gonna do wonders in the corp!
