I've had the same experience on linkedin, and I think it's because a lot of the content is not specific enough, it increasingly feels like facebook.

I think there may be other places with a higher density of very specific purpose, like angel.co

edit: this point is made in the article - "The beginners guides to everything have already been written. What’s missing is more advanced content."

Yes, when I realised it's just like Facebook I decided to stop posting altogether. I never heard of angel.co as a social platform, only know of it for startup jobs. I'll have another look, thanks!
Right, angel.co is not exactly a social platform by design, but people on there are in the startup space, likely very motivated, working on something very specific and open to discussion/proposition.

I guess the specificity of the discussion is the main thing interesting there, provided startups are your thing.

For other things, hobbies etc., there may be more specific places where you get a concentration of focused discussion on a topic.
