LinkedIn is pretty dumb. I dunno if it qualifies as a brain rotting source though

LinkedIn has become the bougie Facebook. In some ways, it's worse than FB.

The vibe there is infuckingsufferable. Corporate bootlicking, performative workaholism, and the butt-ugliest “influencers” of all platforms.

Terrible website with some legitimately hilarious but completely unironic posts from what I can only surmise are the human equivalent of NPCs. Still, I don't spend all day reading LinkedIn crap, I just use it to communicate with recruiters. Has been useful in my career but the social aspect of it is hilarious

Absolutely disgusting website.

Only reason to use it for job search. Where I am it has become defacto site for hunting jobs.

Have you read some of the posts on there?

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Agree?

I try not to, which shoots a pretty big hole in my previous statement

No I just apply for jobs there and move on. If you’re reading posts on LinkedIn you’re internetting wrong.
