Similarly, society decided at some point that linkedin, a completely private and constantly hacked social network, is a must-have when looking for work (not any work, but for a lot of jobs it applies). Just give them all your private data and we'll have a look.
- y-c-o-m-b 23d agoMakes one miss the days when Craigslist or Monster (and its clones) were legitimately the best places to find employment. I've always loathed LinkedIn due to their poor security and their data mining practices, starting from day 1. I haven't used LinkedIn in over 10 years and only used it briefly to connect with old colleagues. I never had a problem getting work without it. Due to AI, scammers, and infiltration by countries like North Korea, LinkedIn seems to be the only other source outside of "networking" to get hired these days though, unfortunately. At this point nothing would make me happier than to see Meta, X, LinkedIn, and their friends collapse. They are a cancer and only amplify the enshittification of everything.
- mk89 22d agoI think stackoverflow jobs was better than all the alternatives we ever had or have now (which are ridiculous). If there is one thing I miss on the internet is indeed stackoverlow jobs. Crazy that it didn't work out. LinkedIn is the Facebook of people who don't want to be on Facebook but want to post Facebook kind of stuff.
