Is LinkedIn the worst platform on the internet?

I'm humble and grateful to announce that I started this thread.

If you aren’t on your laptop in the ICU while recovering from a heart attack you really don’t have the drive needed to make it in business.

I didn’t pay the doctors for their services, but I did give them a QR code with a link to my seminars. 6 months later I got a bouquet of flowers from the entire hospital staff. They all quit their jobs and became millionaires and the hospital closed down. If the sick people would simply follow my 73 step plan they wouldn’t even need a hospital

I actually find it useful, as much as I hate to admit it. A huge part of my business is networking, status hyping, schmoozing, etc.


Interesting note: years ago when I got laid off and started my business, I updated my title from “sales” to “owner.” I immediately got bombarded with spam. At that point, my revenue was literally ZERO, but I’m getting hit up left and right like some sort of celebrity entrepreneur.

I've been on Linkedin since 2008. Barely use it these days, except stay in touch with former colleagues.

It's nauseating. All the worst traits of mankind show up there. Lying, greed, envy, entitlement, self promotion, conceit, misrepresentation and so on.

I see you are a CPA in Kentucky which is why I think you'd be perfect for solar panel sales in Nebraska. - Typical recruiter

Man, recruiters hit me up hard back in 2015-19. Received at least 4 emails/week for various positions. Many still want to connect.

Pass.
