The idea of a social network website that solely meant for job seeker is not inherently a bad thing. In fact, I would imagine if done properly it would be a worthwhile tool for helping people find jobs or to find workers. However, because of the modern software as a service/big data surveillance capitalism it has become a carnival of caricatures. It is really everything wrong with the modern workplace, both big and small.

the “content” on the site has zero value, it’s literally content in the sense that it’s something there to occupy space. The websites core value almost is almost nonexistent at this point. Also the content that is there is unhinged. And I would imagine the problem has only supercharged with the advent of generative AI.

It sucks that regular people can’t just log onto a website to find job openings and or connect with other people in their industry in a normal human like way. It also really sucks that the site has sort of become the default job board. There are other sites and weird third-party applications/platforms but in general LinkedIn and it’s general mentality is the norm for looking for a job.

It’s so fuckin’ lame.

In this thread be big mad with me.
