> what did they do with LinkedIn?? I havent noticed any change.

I think that's his point. He's saying that LinkedIn has the opportunity to do lots of interesting things, and appears to be squandering it.

LinkedIn is excellent as it is; its a utility to keep your CV updated and connect with professionals. We don't want FB-like functionality here, thank god.

LinkedIn is a massive pile of dark patterns and spam. What universe are you living in that that's "excellent" or even acceptable?

Well, it is excellent platform for self-declared thought leaders offering groundbreaking insights about business/culture and innovation.

It's a shit platform for that. Users who are attempting to read these "groundbreaking insights" are subjected to a deluge of tracking code and other malicious behavior. There are plenty of excellent platform for people to share ideas, LinkedIn is absolutely not one of them.

Excellent if you like endless spam from clueless recruiters who think that Java == JavaScript...

Just spam and advertisement. That is all LinkedIn has ever been. The contact aspect is shallow at best if you don't work in HR. It's a circle jerk.

To be clear, I don't have an opinion on the issue myself. I was just trying to clarify the meaning of the grandparent comment.

LinkedIn is fine as it is. I found my last 3 jobs on it.
