LinkedIn's transformation is worth noting. What started as a professional networking space has shifted into something different—a platform where reach-building trumps genuine connection.
The pattern is clear: hiring posts, profile reviews, direct recruitment pitches flooding inboxes. Job seekers flock in, drawn by the promise of opportunity. But beneath the surface, it's become another follower-farming machine, not unlike X and other social platforms.
The mechanics are predictable. Post high-engagement content, accumulate followers, monetize attention. It's effective, sure. But it raises questions: when growth metrics override authentic professional discourse, what's the actual value? As decentralized networks gain traction, traditional platforms' credibility erosion becomes harder to ignore.

I'm already tired of it; LinkedIn is now no different from Xiaohongshu.

Honestly, LinkedIn has long lost its original flavor; now it's just a traffic harvesting machine... At least Web3 still has some sense of authenticity.

Haha, LinkedIn has long lost its original flavor. Now it's mainly a hub for optimizing resumes and selling courses, and truly valuable conversations are becoming increasingly rare.

LinkedIn has long become corrupt; now it's just a magnifying glass that exposes human greed.

Honestly, LinkedIn has long lost its original flavor. Now it's just a follower farm, selling personal branding here.
Morning everyone ☀️
