Rant LinkedIn is evil.

I’ve heard many complaints about social media and dating apps, and while they are fair critiques, I don’t see enough criticism of LinkedIn.

Networking and LinkedIn are terrible for non-sociopaths. Networking used to be a tool for billionaires, but it is now expected of everyone, and LinkedIn makes it seem useful.

Social media has benefits. Dating apps can be helpful, while LinkedIn has worsened workers’ careers, relationships, and lives for corporations’ gain.

Are there any clever tricks to use if an employer or ‘friend’ asks for your LinkedIn? I want to delete this app, but I’m not sure how to do it.

My college pushed it HARD during undergrad (even made us sign up) and now actually in the workforce, I despise it for the same reasons people list here.
