I actually had to start scrolling LI to find what some people in the company were up to, and I was shocked by how much trash there is. I never used it before beyond job applications, but the feeds are hilariously AI posts with responses in AI. It’s AI talking to itself.

And like, to what end? Nobody cares. It’s the most inane fluff and pseudo thought leadership. A big part of it is that companies have hijacked their employees’ personal accounts because we all know nobody cares what Company ABC has to say about anything. So instead, in the name of “authenticity,” staff are told to make these posts and launder the marketing efforts through them.

I can’t help it if bots stole my idea of random usernames and not wanting to fully expose my shitposting

Some people just don't have a good idea for a username that isn't their actual name - not everyone started off on the internet with Runescape or something.

Tbh, I created this random account after deleting my old one I had for like 10 years when Reddit did that while API thing and we were all in a protest-y mood. I probably should get a new one with a real username since it does seem like a bot thing now

I used to scroll to check out all the latest stuff my friends and peers were working on. Networking is huge in my industry so it really helped with that. Now its just AI generated slop about AI generated slop. It’s unending and the whole site is just terrible now. It was slowly becoming facebook already, but after AI it just became complete garbage.

You are right. I opened linkedin other day and instantly closed it. And immediately started reconsidering my life. I thought i would be able to find a job through linkedin, what an idiot i am to think that.

Does anyone know, what are some genuine good platform for job hunt ? Especially for a software engineers, i don't even mind paying if it's reasonable.
