Just what I want from a platform designed for networking and job seeking: games.
Cringe posts on LinkedIn soon about how games inspired them to be achievers at work.
It's already terrible with memes posts
Yeah, I don't understand why anyone posts there. LinkedIn is for finding jobs, not actually communicating. You just want to have a network so you have a better chance of having a connection with people who are hiring.
I can understand event announcements, my job applications are for foo widget builders, so let me know if Foo Widget Con is happening with hiring companies or Foo Widget User Group so we can all get together and share in our pain.
Outside of that, most posts are meaningless.
Can linkedin go under. Can musk buy LinkedIn?
MS is doing their level best
First order of business, shut down the linked in side and go all in on games.
It's owned by MS. Just to give you a view how important do they think it is, if you're on Windows press Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L on your keyboard.
Clearly a keyboard shortcut designed for humans by an AI.

What in the hell is this timeline, even. For real.
Not only are you a sucker for giving them all your personal contacts a la Facebook, but now they can get your gaming info as well? Please fuck off.
Nice coincidence I deleted my LinkedIn account today.
Congratulations 🤝
Because what LinkedIn really needed was Xbox ecosystem integration. /s
I like how they say "LinkedIn" is getting in on gaming when their parent company (Microsoft) fucking owns the god damned Xbox.
Poor management
So when are they adding the cringy Farmville-equivalent type games to it? Make sure to help your boss farm their crops or you might risk getting fired! :-)
Ah the marvels of infinite growth and capitalism. Are we still allowed to say enshitification here?
I'd call that an actual improvement.
Is this going to turn out to be one of those "last starfighter” situations, except it's about arranging lists of words rather than fighting aliens?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
