AI nonsense > Average LinkedIn post by a human

But I guess it's not worth reading either of them.

The levels of actual sadness of people struggling to find work, tales of being ghosted by prospective employees, and recollections of emotional abuse in the workplace there are deeply, deeply depressing to see.

It's gross. I had deleted mine, but when looking for a new job I created a new one. I found it to be a hell scape so I think I will just delete it again 😂

I hate that I have to have it for work

I use it to maintain contacts in my industry, but have never once used it to actually find a job or make new connections.

You can also get a corporate account and pay a subscription for their training services. LRR mandatory training when??

LinkedIn was a spam factory when I worked on inbound customer service at a completely unrelated company *fifteen years ago*. I can only imagine how awful it is at generating crap now.

I've started referring to LinkedIn as the social network that everybody uses but nobody wants to.

Was told the yearly subscription for Patreon is not available for all accounts? Does Youtube have it?

timchuma.bsky.social•75 days ago

Google AI is having an impact. It says 100% made up stuff we have to deal with in customer service

on a long enough timeline every social media website becomes neopets

Oh my god, it’s so bad. I have to keep mine for some professional network reasons, and holy moly it’s just the worst site imaginable.

kakmize.bsky.social•75 days ago

How many invites to obvious mlm’s did you have waiting for you?

rmorganslade.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yup I get daily “you might be good for this job” emails for “AI copywriter” jobs and it makes me want to launch my phone into the sun

pellamore.bsky.social•75 days ago

It's SO bad. I get daily emails and it's like spam - spam - AI - spam
I wonder how many spam jobs I've already applied to.

cyclopsboi.bsky.social•75 days ago

i have to dust mine off whenever i have to job search but good god its bad. And its also constantly used by scammers to phish which is...fun.

It's a uniquely bizzare platform. Ignoring all the scams, and the ai guff, it's got a weird toxic positivity vibe going on that's somehow even more stilted than corporate motivation posters. Oh and their stab at tiktok/youtube shorts etc having the most unhinged corporate bootlicking I've ever seen
