Absolutely. The worst part about this by far is the fact that you are virtually required to participate in at least one of these platforms if you want to exist in the professional world.

Is this actually true? Maybe in sales and marketing. Maybe for “leadership” roles. But outside of that? Idk. I wouldn’t rule out a candidate for not having a LinkedIn. Maybe I’m underestimating how many recruiters do use that as a pass/fail - but it doesn’t feel like they do.
I'm only on FB for work. It's dire.
I actually tried to get back on Facebook in order to get a Meta business account because I wanted to use the WhatsApp API. They wouldn't let me back on. Instaban every time. I left by my own accord as well.
