Then you say you didn't see the profile. Why bother typing all that without even bothering to click? Do you opine on everything you hear other people talking about without looking.

I’m sharing a contrasting view in a conversation. And it is a perfectly valid one to take into account by OP - not everyone thinks particularly highly of folks who overdo their appearances on LI.

Seeking work puts people in a vulnerable spot and it can be intimidating when someone says “change this” and “change that”. “When I hire people blah blah blah”.

And I’ll take the downvotes over that - I’m not shaming or judging anyone for “bothering to type” something they think brings value into a conversation.
