Surprised a boring platform like LinkedIn has that many users.
For most it's a CV hosting platform and nothing else.
Just don't tell their investors who are clearly pushing to make it a social media hub.
Edit: it's the second-to-last place I would ever consider for that purpose. Right after Venmo.
Fuck LinkedIn. It's just gross, my feed is just full of shilling.
It's pretty important career-wise, suggest this video if you're interested.
I, too, have a profile on LinkedIn, doesn't mean I use it more often than once a month or something, just to check up on notifications
Linked in is simultaneously the most useful and useless social media platform.
On one hand, you can use it to get jobs, and keep a line of contact with former/present colleagues in a professional setting (as opposed to Facebook or remembering to write down their personal email address).
On the other hand, you have the feed, which is full of the most stupid, banal, and preformative shit you'll ever see on social media, because it's all in the name of advancing your career in this superficial society of ours.
I hate it, but it has its uses.
