What fresh hell ... (LinkedIn)
LinkedIn has long been on my shit list. And it is getting even more shitty as they try to swim with all the other enshittified social media bits.
I was told that I would be getting a new person moved under me, so I figured that I would go check out their LinkedIn profile. You know, pretty normal shit.
Now, before I get into my rant, I have to say that I loathe LinkedIn, and on my professional (and my secret) Product Manager blogs, I have in the past regularly excoriated LinkedIn for their borderline unethical practices, so I have all notifications turned off, and I only log in to do this sort of background research.
Anyhow, I navigate to LinkedIn, and log in, and what the fuck hits me in the face?
What the everloving Kentucky Fried fresh fuckery is this shit? It looks suspiciously like every other fucking social media app. I mean, here's Bluesky:
Look, one of my long time gripes about LinkedIn is that in the 2010's they tried really hard to make it buttoned down flavor of Facebook that corporate drones could hang out. That is why they added a "feed", and also why the right-wing spooge-muppets invaded (seriously, dive into the comments of about any "post" and you will see swarms of red-hatted MAGA trolls spitting the biscuit (WARNING: DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!!!!!!!) to outdo each other.
No, the enshittification of LinkedIn has long been apace, but this? Fuck, I never want to go there again.
Ok, enough of this fuckery.
