I am in the States and have noticed the stars beneath each post on LinkedIn. Recently, there was a post about someone receiving their degree, and the AI suggested, "Would you like to learn more about XYZ University's degree?" As a mechanical engineer, I would not be interested in a master's in cybersecurity—it's completely irrelevant. I don't mind AI, but it should at least be relevant to the user. That's not too much to ask. Additionally, I've observed significant performance lags. What used to load in a second now takes several seconds. I'm not sure if it's just me, but it feels like a step backward. This isn't new to tech though. Remember how we completely moved away from plaintext emails to now fancier ones that contain a lot of visual garbage and links but not actual content?

This is good thanks for sharing!

The problem with LinkedIn is that it is just no longer clear what purpose it serves. Is it for the influencers who post garbage on it? Is it for a personal post? Like with everything else when the purpose of a platform isn't clear, it quickly goes down the hill. I have stopped using LinkedIn altogether.

For jobs, I rely on Indeed. For sales, I rely on other professional industry groups or conferences. For following particular influencers, I rely on Substack.
