I refuse to believe that. The Linkedin cringe is from posts that are optimised to go viral on Linkedin (consciously or not); no-one writes in that style sincerely.

i think there's two main flavors of linkedin slop.

there's the founder/ceo trying to brand themselves as a "thought leader" slop. stupid made up inspirational stories. grind/hustle motivational stuff. etc.

then there's the slop from employees. this is usually a multi-paragraph missive where they announce that they've made the hard to decision to leave company X for company Y but they learned SOM MUCH and everybody at company Y are ABSOLUTE ROCKSTARS and on and on and you just wonder "if all that's true, why are you leaving"
