I have no idea where to post this, but is a anyone else super weirded out by LinkedIn lately? All these pictures of people using their kids as props for parental leave, or how their kid has a disorder and how proud they are? I just came across a post that was a woman lying next to her mom who had *literally* just died. I feel a little cold hearted saying it, but it is so over the top on what is supposed to be a professional network. Am I just totally out of touch?

LinkedIn makes me cringe every single time. Only good for job hunting. Everyone just putting on a front, like relax buddy I watched you throw up on yourself every weekend in college.

All social media has been getting out of hand lately. Hope it’s the beginning of the end.

It is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

I am so sick of seeing people's personal events on there. I am sorry your father died but I don't want to see or hear about it on Linkedin. Take that to Facebook.

Self congratulatory posts about publications or awards or trade events are annoying but much more relevant and useful.

No, it’s like Facebook but with motivational posters.

Agree. Evidently, many people just love to talk about themselves to the world and assume we all care. Also, LinkedIn doesn't have a way to report misinformation, which has been a huge issue lately regarding Covid and vaccines. LinkedIn will either innovate or be replaced/disrupted.

I deleted all social media except LinkedIn. Now I am seriously thinking about deleting LinkedIn as well. Motivational stuff is fine. I just saw a post of a guy in his 20s in a hospital bed with thumbs up saying he recovered from a throat infection. I am glad he did. I just don't know the severity of the infection but this is insignificant news for me dude. All of this is becoming strange
