There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Before LinkedIn...to me, the king of professional cringey was Shingy. Do you guys remember him? He was aol's overpaid "digital prophet" and got paid to visit companies at lunchtime and babble the same kind of nonsense we now call "LinkedIn cringe".

Never heard of this guy, but he’s still chugging along! Surprised he hasn’t gone LinkedIn viral yet

He babbled about "THE INTERNET" and "DIGITAL" to big companies and agencies, using Wikipedia buzzwords & peddling fear of the unknown, before CEOs/CCOs/CSO's knew anything about ANY of that stuff. And he had a "cool smart guy" (to dumb Americans) accent, "creative" Elton John glasses & wild wardrobe, and dreads, which completed the fraudster starter kit straight off the mannequin. Prob made a a$$load of money outright fooling people, but the world has caught up to him.

His shark-jumping moment was on the wrecking ball a la Miley. Google "Shingy wrecking ball" Pure unintentional hilarity.
