 Entered LinkedIn. Left 5% dumber. 
 literally the worst social media. 
 It’s terrible. It’s even worse when your company expects a your to “leverage” it. 

It’s the most fake type of connections on social media. 
 It's so cringe. They only talk about how good they are. There is nothing else. Post after post. It's all about themselves. 
 So true. 
 It's a platform for free marketing and circle jerks.

It did deliver me customers in the past though, even with zero active engagements or posts. 
 I don't really understand what's the point of that site. It seems like a weird way for people to brag about their career progress to people that they may have met or communicated with at some point in their life. And they have paid tier? So weird.  
 The worst. 
 Dead 👀 
 Its one big narcissistic circle jerk. 
 😂 
 Yes, it’s painful. LinkedIn is the only legacy social media platform I’m still holding on to, but I rarely use it.

 21 Reasons Why it’s Actually Super Powerful


A 🧵 
 Just closed my account yesterday. 

They are all about “authenticity” but try to post “fuck you Linda from HR,” and you‘ll get a taste of some real honesty.. 

Just kidding (but not really). 
 LinkedIn is the Conformity Olympics 
 Everyone is a CEO or Founder of something. Cringe AF. 
 Somente 5%? 
 For real — and the scammers….  
 Virou mais uma plataforma de fake news e positividade distópica... #linkedin

 Thanks, this pushed me to empty out my #linkedin profile and redirect people to my website.  Next step is a #nostr based professional profile I can show instead, but I had to leave that place first...
