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?
