Why do people post so much crap on linkedin?

My feed is filled with dumb “advices”, so called “professionals” that post the most entry level stuff and all sorts of shit that if I were a recruiter I would stay away from these people

LinkedIn is facebook for professionals. Its pure cancer.

I was gonna answer that professionals probably just use Yammer (since their companies probably already use Microsoft Office), but Microsoft apparently closed it in 2017.

Edit: My bad, I mixed up So.cl (which was killed im 2017) and Yammer (which is currently being "rolled into" Viva Engage, which itself launched in 2022). All three brands are owned by Microsoft.

My company requires? heavily pushes? us to have a linkedin account. I just get so much spam email now that I've changed my position to 'floor sweeper' - still get all the spam

And the funny thing is that it's complicated to even block all their spam in Gmail, because they send it from a bunch of different email adresses
