I hate LinkedIn so much. I logged into it for the first time in months the other day to see if it had got any better, and no. It's turned into Facebook.
My feed was full of some guy who'd got a hobby farming bees, a ton of meaningless anniversaries, and a wildly overshared post about a dead baby.

It really is a fucking sewer of self-congratulatory shite
I saw the dead baby post too. Fucking hell.

Wasn’t it LinkedIn that scraped people’s contact lists and created profiles for people who never signed up…
…then started bombarding them with spam?

Possibly, back a long time ago.
I recall that or something similar causing a lot of trouble at a former employer.

Oh god, the spam. I ended up having to filter any email from them straight into the bin because I couldn't unsubscribe and they'd send multiple emails a day.

Similar, was asked to like a post by someone so logged on for the first time in years
and was like "Oh, it's like Facebook but with people telling me about stuff I can't even pretend to care about"
