Why I'm Leaving LinkedIn: A Farewell to Losers and Bots
I'm done with LinkedIn. The platform has lost its charm, becoming a breeding ground for spam, bots, and self-proclaimed gurus who think bombarding your inbox with unsolicited messages is networking.
Let's face the facts: LinkedIn has turned into a platform where genuine professional engagement is drowned out by an avalanche of meaningless connections. Here's why I've had enough:
The Bot Invasion: My inbox is a war zone, not filled with promising business opportunities, but with automated messages from bots pretending to be professionals. They're not interested in your career; they're after your wallet or your personal information.
The Loser Parade: You know who I'm talking about - those who connect only to pitch their pyramid scheme or ask for free advice with zero intention of giving anything back. It's not networking; it's exploitation.
The Endless Self-Promotion: The feed is cluttered with thinly veiled advertisements masquerading as insightful posts or humblebrags about minor accomplishments. Where's the space for real professional dialogue or growth?
The Illusion of Professionalism: LinkedIn markets itself as the go-to place for professionals, but it's more about the appearance of professionalism than the reality. It's a place where people collect connections like badges, not build meaningful relationships.
I refuse to spend my time on a platform where my professional worth is gauged by how many spam messages I can dodge or how many "motivational" quotes I can ignore.
So, to all the losers and bots on LinkedIn, I bid you adieu. I'm shifting my focus to places where my efforts will be more fruitful - on real-world connections, genuine business development, and platforms that respect the intellect and time of professionals.
Why TIUAS and Biteris Network Stand Out:
-
TIUAS: I have moved to TIUAS for its refreshing, spam-free policy. Here, I can engage in professional conversations without the noise of unsolicited pitches.
-
Biteris Network: My home is on the Biteris Network, which echoes the freedom of expression I appreciate on X.com. Here, I can post as I wish, without the fear of my content being buried under an algorithm or censored by corporate oversight, because I own it. LOL
To My Real Connections: I appreciate the genuine interactions we've had. Let's continue this journey on platforms that value authenticity over vanity metrics.
Here's to finding real professional value, away from LinkedIn's digital clutter.
