Linkedin is the sleaziest thing I’ve seen on the internet since it was invented. The sight of it makes my skin crawl. The way they have desperately tried to onboard you via data that they seem to have that they shouldn’t. The way users even present themselves, posting updates that probably make them want to vomit themselves and shower in disgust even tho it’s not their fault, we need to find work. The bloody badge that you have to wear on your forehead to say you are available for work. The thought of the money they are raking in from recruiters and corporations. The way they try to be a little bit more like Facebook to make it look a little more ‘fun’. I hate it.

Well they made it. They conquered the recruitment scene and I can’t think of a company I’d wish had gone out of business sooner.

Am I wrong?

I do find them the most loathsome of the social media platforms I visit. But here's another point -- recent investigations have shown they're not as good a resource for finding jobs anymore[0].

In your "WHAT YOU SHOULD DO" section, you missed the most important thing.

Stop using LinkedIn, and stop using these terrible services that rip away our privacy.

People who found this post interesting may also find this blog post about Persona a good read as well: https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona/

tl;dr Persona shares your identity data directly with the federal governments of the US and Canada and likely is sharing data/works with ICE on the same.

Here's where you went wrong: you're on LinkedIn. Since it's your first time, this one is free, I'll be collecting micropayments for future advice, rest assured.
