Generic Shit on LinkedIn

[madmanjock]

Anyone else noticed LinkedIn is becoming more a social media channel and less a professional network?

Using this screenshot as an example. Influencers constantly barrage you with generic / obvious / feel good shit for clicks / likes.

What is there goal here? Can you make money from LinkedIn? Or is this just some cringe vanity project for them?

You haven't seen the worst yet, ChatGPT generated posts that talk about a trendy topic in the most generic way possible, always with the same structure and a barely sane illustration. That place is below facebook tier.

Some people post almost daily on LinkedIn. It makes me wonder what their other socials look like.

If I were upper management at a large corporation, I'd probably check to see who has lots of posts there, and make a note that they seem to have a lot of free time on their hands.

A few years back my company had its own social media facebook-lite on our intranet. Not surprisingly, only middle managers ever posted on it and wondered why they didn't get more engagement from the workers or the upper management. A lot of those positions are gone now.

Please don't get any of the leadership on your shoes.

A lot of my clients are asking me to tailor stuff specifically for LinkedIn. I don’t know why they’re paying less attention to the main social platforms these days. Maybe they are catching on that no one cares.

My career is in HR Talent Management, and I've had to sit back and watch LinkedIn take over both recruiting and development in all organizations I've worked in over the last decade. Like it or not, if you want a corpo job these days, it's more or less imperative to interact with it in one way or another.

Micro$oft paid $26 Billion to purchase LI, and you best believe they work tirelessly to ensure businesses are not only reliant on their productivity software suite and operating systems, but also now for their their social media presence, recruitment, and development functions. MS makes over $15 billion a year in revenue off of the platform - $7 Billion from recruitment fees alone. It's absolutely insane.

LinkedIn is the very definition of a stinking cesspool of corporate greed and mediocrity.

He catches the excess leadership in a jar as a trophy.

What makes me laugh about it, is it's constantly encouraging you to look at other jobs, even if you've recently changed jobs!!

It's like one of those annoying finance companies that's constantly trying to get you to take out loans and just bury you in debt.

I think I saw that guy’s work. Powerful stuff.
