 Haven't had a linkedin account in 15 years, just signed up again and cringed so hard I think I soiled myself 

Sorry generic he/him suit guy but I don't believe you are this thrilled about being some middle manager at a bank branch  
 Dude. 
Absolutely. 

It's like social media for depressed-but-hiding, corporate Boot-licking wasps.  
 why did you sign back up? 
 Sell bitvora to suit guys  
 Oh, but they are. That’s the really brutal part. 
 I signed up a year ago for the first time, thinking it might be good for networking. I browsed around for about 1hr, and never logged back on. 
 It’s very cring
Just people shilling their products or meaningless boasting about work anniversaries and starting new positions 

Very little signal 
 Linkedin is a place where personalities go to die. It is a soul sucking desolate place where people appear as bots. 
 I literally get depressed a bit every time I open LinkedIn. I cannot wait to delete my account  
 I get the same feeling too! All of the people posting about their new promotions! 
 Never had any account there. This place is good only when you want to stalk someone. 
 We use LinkedIn in collections to track people. 😆  
 It’s horrible right? What is everyone using as alternative to get jobs? I know,  LinkedIn doesn’t help you get a job it just so employers can stalk you
