"People are saying Google Glass was silly, sounds like a dropbox comment, surely it'll become the next big thing"
"People are saying the Humane AI Pin is useless, you can just use your phone, sounds like the dropbox comment lol"
"People criticized ScamCoin5000 saying 'just do a regular ponzi scheme with cash lol', people also said 'just use ftp' about dropbox, so surely ScamCoin5000 will be the biggest thing since sliced bread"

It's also worth remembering peoples biases (to be plain racism and sexism); many studies show that these level out when you remove the need for people to have names on their job applications.

In fact, your platform is broken, since its focus on visual selling is the same bias as having photos on a resume. So you are not improving over LinkedIn.
Make a primarily text only platform, and visual showcase should only be of things you have done. All non-objective things should be removed. Then make hooks for applying to jobs so everything gets filled in one click.
