> It appears that LinkedIn is automatically importing job postings from other places on LinkedIn and other sites such as angel.co if the company name of the job posting matches your company name on LinkedIn. The irony when LinkedIn get so upset about people scraping their website.
- If I actually want to start conversations, I get a lot more comments on HN or Reddit
- When I was a job searcher, the idea of just being able to apply from my profile was really cool. Except every job just re-directed you to some form that wanted you to upload a resume anyway.
- Of the handful of potential clients who have found me there, none have ended up signing a contract. Better odds just talking on random slack channels.
- It's getting more and more cringe. Call me a prude but it's really tacky when people post photos of stuff like their wife and their baby asleep on the couch. Do you really want to post your families intimate moments to get likes on a "professional" social network?
- If I'm honest with myself I realise that I just replaced my addiction to one blue site (FB) with another.
Anyway add me on LinkedIn!! https://www.linkedin.com/in/lewisandrewcampbell/

You haven’t seen LinkedIn cringe until you’ve worked in sales or sales adjacent positions. The amount of of hubris some of these people have is incredible
A few years ago, I worked at a tech company that shared a name with a restaurant a few towns over. The company's LinkedIn (with our logo, connections, etc...) would show job openings for cooks and waiters. I found it funny, at the time, and even went to the restaurant to try it out.

The real solution is building a B2B social media network. But that is very very hard to do.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have the opposite experience. I don’t get any messages from recruiters after having set the appropriate preferences. And I use LinkedIn to connect to relevant people in my field.
Yeah, I really don't have that much of a problem with LinkedIn. It definitely seems like they do scammy things, but I don't really notice since I really only login to it when I'm looking for a job. When I set my preference from "not looking" to "actively looking" or even the "casually looking" option (forgot what it's called), the flood gates get opened wide. Then it's pretty much just like picking a job from a job t…

But if you aren't technical, LinkedIn is still the best place to engage. I sell media advertising and LinkedIn is by far the best social media platform. It's also the best social media platform for our media organization because we are looking for B2B audience. The real solution is building a B2B social media network. But that is very very hard to do.
