LinkedIn Is Everything Wrong With Society

LinkedIn has devolved from a professional networking tool into a soul-crushing ecosystem defined by corporate performativity and “AI slop.” Founded by Reed Hoffman, the platform now prioritizes engagement over utility, mimicking the addictive features of Instagram and Twitter. Users are forced to maintain fake personas and endure a brutal job market filled with ghost listings and predatory recruitment. Ultimately, the site commodifies professional identity, trapping workers in a 24/7 performance that erodes self-worth and sanity.
