I joined LinkedIn to network and find opportunities—and it delivered. I landed interviews, connected with industry peers, and even got freelance gigs. But man, the fakeness is exhausting. My feed is flooded with humblebrags ("From homeless to CEO in 3 days!") and vague motivational posts. Random DMs either want to "collaborate" (read: sell me something) or beg for referrals. The algorithm pushes cringe over substance, and Premium feels like a scam. Still, I can’t quit—it’s where the jobs are. I just mute the noise and focus on real connections.
