What the fuck, why?
I’m so tired of LinkedIn already, I don’t want people messaging me “Let’s play 8-ball!”
You always try to be everything to everyone
Sorry prospective employers, I’m not falling for that
It’s all crypto games, isn’t it?
Holy shit! no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, crypto games are good! Actually, crypto games are the best!!
I don’t think LinkedIn understands what they are anymore
Seeing how some users already interpret is as a dating app … they’re not the only ones
Imagine the type of people that both think of and respond to linked-in advances.
LinkedIn reminds me of that scene in Men in Black where they discover a weird little society living inside a locker. But instead of a locker, it’s a job board.
EITHER:
- they are incompetent, & not understanding Branding, at all ( read the books of Al Ries on Branding, Marketing, Focus, etc, and that book on Focus is the core of why LinkedIn is now hosed )
XOR:
- somebody in upper-management there is a trojan, the same as Steve Ballmer got a trojan into Nokia, as a means of harvesting all sorts of patent-rights while destroying Nokia ( what Citadel & Boston Consulting Group did to Sears is the same, except that Citadel was shorting it, instead of getting a sea of patent-licenses )
( well, OK, the combination of both is actually-possible, but less-likely? )
In either case, what they’re doing, besides Microsofting the joint, ( the verb “to Microsoft” means to highjack/trojan/enshittify/rot-all-value-from a company through partial/total ownership ), is they are making-certain that whatever competitor should appear on the horizon, Microsoft is stacking-odds FOR that competitor, against LinkedIn.
Same as how MySpace made certain that people disliked it enough to suddenly-jump-ship when Facebook came around…
Anti-strategy.
CORE Anti-strategy.
We evidently haven’t figured-out how to test for strategic intelligence, yet, as it obviously has nothing, whatsoever, to do with SAT++.
