Agreed. There are lots of people posting shitty things on Facebook, Twitter, etc., but on LinkedIn, everyone is so fake. They're putting their best professional face on, heavily self-censoring themselves, and their content plays to the whole "employment culture". It's not even a little bit genuine.

I don't even know why they do it. Everyone knows it's fake and performative, this couldn't possibly actually help their careers could it?

AI has made it worse, but they were always horrible.

now a lot of job applications require that you give them a LinkedIn URL.

What types of jobs? I find that very hard to believe.

I got an email from Indeed for this today: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/doordashusa/jobs/7727512

About 2/3 of the way down you can see LinkedIn Profile, and it's a mandatory field.

There are tons though.
