    LinkedIn just isn’t for Jobs Anymore. It’s Now a Pile of Trash.

    Ads about pushing your career, then more ads about how to create a better work life balance. And everybody seems to be a coach who tries to push their courses about the above mentioned topics. Thanks but I’ll pass.

      My favorite thing is LinkedIn sending you spam advertisements disguised as real people chatting you. Every month or so I get a message from a spambot saying something along the lines of “Hello! My name is Diana. Have you heard of LinkedIn premium?”

      Total trashfire of a website. Unfortunately, I still have to open it every now and then to adjust my profile and check for jobs, because it feels like everyone asks for your linkedin page when applying now.

        I decided to check if it was any better than my current specialized job portal, which has enshittified a little in the last years. But Linkedin enshittification can’t be beat. It’s like prostitution level of job seeking for brainwashed people. What jobs are you applying for?

          Game dev, mainly. I use other websites to apply but there’s usually a spot dedicated for your linkedin profile, a lot of recruiters expect your portfolio to be on there.

      I like all the recent graduates who have all of a sudden become experts in their fields and post on behalf of the company. Or those that are so humbled to let everyone know that they are taking a Coursera course.
