Is LinkedIn actually getting outdated now?

I think so. There are better, more focused, less content driven-job boards/communities based on industry. The engagement farming is out of control. I use it as a people lookup/research tool and cold calling platform when need be (messaging).

I'm certain there are plenty of overpaid + underworked upper-mid management types that are addicted to those stupid little notifs and provide very little of substance. This ain't facebook.

LI was supposed to be, and fulfilled the goal for a few years, a place to digitally connect and network. It’s morphed into a parade of desperate attention-seekers and ladder climbers, braggarts and fake experts. I can’t stand it.

It has been for a few years. If your agency leads are still active on LinkedIn, it’s not a great signal.

My uncle I met a week ago suddenly died. He hid his heart condition from his wife, my aunt. He was having tea in the morning when he had a stroke. She did not have a last word or consider the possibility that he’d pass away so suddenly and soon. She is beating herself up over how he left and they didn’t have a chance to talk that morning. Fishes, sharing this so you call your loved ones today and not take people for granted.
