I'm on linked-in for obvious reasons but i largely ignore the posts. I don't get how so many people are political on a site largely concerning itself with employment.

Other than that, reddit was the last piece of social media that i quit last year. I consider it more of a social media service than an a forum for discussion.

I enjoy LinkedIn for keeping up with old colleagues. But -- and I hate to be too sour on people who are earnestly excited about sharing their career progress -- everyone seems to announce every minor career move on LinkedIn in posts that read like a Grammy acceptance speech.

LinkedIn is chock full of people with bullshit professional titles posting nonsense. Half the time I wonder if they're bots.

They may not be but social media make people act like bots. Humans just optimize for whatever reward they are after (likes, followers...)

Because employment, like almost everything else in life, is political[0].
