Feels like LinkedIn has gone down this road as well. It really doesn’t feel like a professional network any longer… too much attention seeking spam.

It’s terrible.

Should be a network for professionals talking about careers, it’s half people discussing Facebook things (squid game was a popular topic a month ago…), and its another half of attention seekers.

Tech Twitter and HNs are the only socials I read to find interesting content and read everyday, plus few selected subreddits on sports I care for as soccer or formula 1, but step out on some other subreddits and its bigocy and cringe.

LinkedIn has the same "engagement-driven" toxicity that Facebook and Instagram suffer from. That's because "a network for professionals talking about careers" and content limited to work and employment doesn't drive engagement. Squid Game probably does.
