As much as you all dislike LinkedIn and the cringy posts, keep in mind that for certain parts of the market it is >the< main professional forum. It is where your investors live, and their capital providers live. So, play nice, yeah?
Most people use it for messaging and keeping contacts. The feed and the posturing that occurs on it is a weird sideshow.

Do you have examples of such occasions when the linkedin post was actually the cause?
I don't understand who uses that network anymore. Everytime I login it's all ai generated stories next to ai generated flavor images of people sounding like a parody of themselves ("what taking my kids to school taught me about business scaling"). Out of all places to doomscroll, why choose the one that feels like an episode of Severance?

Many people use it. But let’s be honest… it’s not just a social media platform. It’s a mindset. A daily ritual. A lifestyle. A place where every thought becomes a “lesson” ... Contributors can lay out their every boring thought in strange staccato posts. Every now and then there are genuinely interesting things happening in your industry you can learn about. But you have to suffer through the fake team building and w…

A lot of people have answered that it is a useful tool for job searching. My experience was a bit on the other side of the coin. Our company wanted more of a presence on the site to gain visibility so managers like myself were encourged (told) to sign up and post on it. We also received video training on how to write catchy descriptions of ourselves (under 50 words ofc) and stuff like that. The site is just a circle…
It's really a shame that all major browsers have since decided that you as a user should have almost no control over how much ram and storage any arbitrary website can consume now.
Google+ had promise in that the many problems of the other platforms could be curtailed with tooling to make your social experience effectively local (not necessarily geographically).

Very few people with LinkedIn profiles read the social feed. Even fewer post things to it. The majority use LinkedIn only for job searching and keeping contacts. I do some times wonder if any hiring managers see a lot of LinkedIn social post activity as a positive thing. The few times we’ve interviewed candidates who had a lot of LinkedIn posting activity it was considered a risk: We could go through their LinkedIn a…
About a year ago I had a friend recommend me to their management. After three rounds of interviews, the CEO overrode the process and rejected me because I didn't have enough on my LinkedIn profile.
As far as I'm concerned, I dodged a bullet. If the CEO cares so much about LinkedIn filler that he'd overrule the hiring process, I'm certain I would have hated every moment working there.

I've also gotten my last few jobs there. It's great for that. Even if it's 90% low effort recruiter spam. It's also full of "greatest team in the world", pizza parties, "incredible" training sessions, and "meetings of great minds". And now it's turned into a bunch of comedy reels. Blah.
You forgot "I am honoured and humbled to announce ."
