Remember when LinkedIn was about professional networking? When people actually shared insights, job tips, or useful posts about career growth? Yeah. That version of LinkedIn is dead.

Now? It’s a cringe factory of humblebrags, AI-generated inspiration posts, fake promotions, and “thought leaders” giving advice they’ve never taken themselves.

Got laid off? Expect 400 bots and recruiters who never follow up to like your post. Got a new job? Suddenly everyone’s a career coach. God forbid you scroll the feed — it’s a wasteland of engagement farming, people oversharing trauma for likes, and the same recycled “I was rejected 30 times before I became CEO” nonsense.

It’s not a professional network anymore. It’s Facebook in a suit. A place where real connections are buried under layers of fluff, vanity metrics, and people who call themselves “visionaries” because they reposted a Gary Vee quote.

LinkedIn could be great. It was very good. But somewhere along the way, it sold out for engagement. And what we’re left with is a platform pretending to be professional, while everyone treats it like Instagram for their resume.

End rant.
