Another person saying what we all know #Linkedin has become, #enshittification

I still can't understand how a centralised job/networking site in 2025 is still basically the industry standard.
Imagine a federated system for jobs & seekers? 
Since I'm starting my new job hunting "adventure", I had to re-enstablish my Linkedin profile. Which I hate, but it's needed unfortunately.
Now I haven't open #Linkedin in a looooong time, and what a horrible experience it is!
Now basically according to my timeline it's all about AI, that's it. Just that.
Everyone is showcasing their ability to cheat life with an LLM.
WTF? Like any other social media (including this here) it's a bubble of information.
But what a shitty bubble that is.
On my #linkedin feed I see a lot of viral posts about how em dash is a telltale sign of an AI-generated text.
I'm dying inside. I myself and a lot of content writers I've worked with are using it on a regular basis, so I was quite... surprised by such assumption.
Apparently, for a lot of people this is the first contact with such sign. And I'm talking about people from business and marketing spheres. I can't wrap my head around this.
Do all people who try to be "friends" with me on LinkedIn (and that I have never met) realize I will ping them for sponsorship for @ph0wn CTF? It only seems fair ;P
[My advice if you want to connect with me on LinkedIn: at least include a message saying why, or where we met, otherwise, I'll just turn it down]
And reminding my followers that we're looking for sponsors. Best way (in my opinion) to train your teams, reach out to talented people. Worth 100 CVs ;P
As a service, LinkedIn Learning is useless, it's just a way for LinkedIn to train their AI shitty product on your profile. It also creates a dystopian reality in which me looking for a training is treated like a Tinder experience: 'find your best match', as if my work chronological history gives any hint of what I find good or not in a learning experience. Which highlights how who designed it didn't even understand the basic principle: "wrong data, wrong answers"
Before my university account expires, I use some of LinkedIn Learning courses for deepening some technical skills. It was a while since I used it, and today opened back to see if I could find a lesson on a specific software. LinkedIn Learning is now apparently only powered by AI, and for every query it insist in wanting to scan your profile first, supposedly to find the 'best match'. If you stop the scan & do a simple search, it returns verbose answers and no courses.

“Microsoft will cut 3 per cent of its global #workforce, the latest round of #JobCuts at a #BigTech company, as it seeks to streamline operations and pare layers of #MiddleManagement.
The Redmond, Washington-based group said on Tuesday that it would eliminate about 6,000 roles, including at international offices and wholly-owned subsidiaries such as #LinkedIn. The moves follow #performance-related job cuts this year that affected about 2,000 #Microsoft employees.”

“#LinkedIn is cringe because it's just an extension of the workplace. It's the corporate environment, but in a social media format. Think about it: No one is being themselves at work; everyone is putting on a play. Including you.”
Bye Bye #linkedin !
Après beaucoup de réflexions sur son soi-disant intérêt professionnel, j'ai décidé de fermer mon compte linkedin.
(Au moins, je ne m'amuserai plus à lire la pauvreté des posts et des polémiques idiotes présent sur ce réseau.)
Merci @ploum pour ton article, qui m'a confirmé dans cette voie.

Peut-être qu'un jour nous aurons un fediwork fonctionnel et utile pour l'univers pro.
My God thank you Underscore, I hope that all of these LinkedIn Bullshitors of French Cyber will all be highlighted, missing more than Saax and I would be totally with angels !
So much history on the internet is hilarious, all this band of fakes, hilarious 
J’ai réalisé ce week-end qu’aucun de mes proches ne sait que j’ai un blog. La plupart ne savent même pas que les blogs existent encore.
Je n’ai plus #Facebook, #LinkedIn ou #insta ils ne sont donc pas au courant de mes posts.
Pas que ça soit grave, mais je me rends compte que je n’ai pas de moyen « facile » de les tenir au courant comme je pouvais le faire avec Facebook.
Je me vois mal tous leur envoyer mes posts par mail ou message signal ^^
این روزها دوستان توصیه میکنند که پروژههایی که سر #کار میکنم و رویدادهای کاریای که توشون شرکت میکنم و مصاحبههایی که باهام میکنن رو بهتره تو #لینکدین هم دربارهشون بنویسم. میگن هم برای بقیه انگیزه میشه، هم برای خودم تبلیغ میشه، و هم ممکنه تو جذب نیروی تازه برای شرکت کمک کنه.
من ولی اصلاً دست و دلم به نوشتن تو شبکهٔ اجتماعی متمرکز نمیره. احساس میکنم هر گونه فعالیتی توی چنین شبکههایی در نهایت اون شبکه رو هم تبلیغ میکنه و من اصلاً این رو نمیخوام.

I was ½ wondering how long it would take for the #scammerfarms to move on from #pigbutchering to #cryptobro come-ons in the #LinkedIn DMs... 
Quicker to get to the reporting stage (fraud/scam + spam) with LinkedIn though 
"We are pope" oder so... keine Ahnung, ob eine US-Zeitung so getitelt hat. Habs ja auch erst gerade via #LinkedIn mitbekommen 
Moin zusammen und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Freitag. Alles wird gut!
P.S. Dieser Papst wird #Trump nerven

Covered California, a public agency that administers the Affordable Care Act for the state, had over 60 #trackers on its website and transmitted the #health info of visitors to #LinkedIn without consent, allowing LinkedIn to direct targeted advertising relating to health care products to these people when they used LinkedIn. This broke every state #privacy law in existence. https://themarkup.org/pixel-hunt/2025/04/28/how-california-sent-residents-personal-health-data-to-linkedin
So Microsoft doesn't want you to apply for a lot of jobs. Any jobs? A job?
"LinkedIn is ditching the keywords in favor of AI so its system is able to understand job listings on a much deeper level. This should, according to the company, allow job hunters to search postings using more natural language."
Engadget: LinkedIn wants you to tell its AI about your dream job https://www.engadget.com/social-media/linkedin-wants-you-to-tell-its-ai-about-your-dream-job-133046457.html @Engadget #AI #Linkedin #Microsoft
LinkedIn heeft mijn account zonder uitleg geblokkeerd. Zonder waarschuwing, en zonder mogelijkheid tot contact is mijn profiel beperkt. Inloggen lukt niet meer. Dit raakt mijn professionele netwerk en zichtbaarheid. LinkedIn presenteert zich als een professioneel platform, maar handelt hier zonder transparantie/verantwoordelijkheid.
#linkedin ik verzoek om onmiddellijke opheldering en herstel van mijn account.
Wie heeft ervaring met dit soort blokkades en weet hoe je LinkedIn in beweging krijgt?
