Glanced on LinkedIn and saw a person congratulating themselves on their 41k followers milestone. They put together a collage of “social proof” good comments from other people about themselves, along with some sort of “top 10” graphic. Topped off with glittery stars.
Not making this up.
Peak fiat. I can’t imagine anything topping this.
And one of the comments was “maybe it’s time to conquer other social media platforms”
Conquer.
😮💨
I love how people scroll LinkedIn and think they are actually working. It is the shittiest form of social media. You are just being entertained by your industry’s garbage as content. If I’m going to waste time I might as well watch something interesting. lol.
Cringiest of all platforms
That's a lonely person who lives for self affirmation.
I still lack any other social media accounts for this exact reason
“Having” followers = social herding
I betcha there’s something that will top it but we just haven’t thought of it yet because it’s too ridiculous.
