I guess even the finest minds of Microsoft couldn't figure out how to further enshittify LinkedIn? Sometimes a rock bottom is a rock bottom

so the slightly longer explanation for it is that it's not "intended" to be triggered that way - you know how they sell those keyboards with "LinkedIn buttons" that have the logo on them? that button is just mapped to that key combo etc

It’s similar to how tourists will pay 40 bucks for a Hard Rock Cafe tshirt. It’s to signal to everyone around you that you are an easy mark.

if you are a hr rep and dont have a linkedin keyboard then how do you pretend like you're doing work for 89-98% of your workday

I recently got a phish attack email from someone impersonating my boss and when I clicked the contact details, outlook displayed his real linkedin profile as the only possible match (he has an uncommon name) complete with profile picture. Very useful feature!

Also I logged in to facebook for the first time in many months and my feed was all ai slop of old people with 100th year birthday cakes and nothing else. Absolutely dead site.

I deleted my Facebook account in 2018, but I created a phoney one with a fakish name so I can use marketplace (unfortunately my beloved Craigslist is pretty dead these days).

When I do accidentally end up on my account's home page, which has no friends, the feed is full of really bizarre clickbait stuff from mostly African and South east Asian accounts - elder talks for first time in 50 years, you won't believe what he told the villagers first! Will bring tears to your eyes! Or linked-in style aspirational business posts but from bangladesh. that sort of poo poo.

Like, it knows my IP address and marketplace searches are in America, why not show me American stuff? Stuff I could potentially want to engage with? It knows im searching for welding tools and guitars on marketplace, why not show me stuff about welding or music?

I'm really not sure what Facebook even is anymore.

I just came up with a million dollar idea. Its like cameo but in reverse. You get a bunch of CEOs and Product Managers to sign up and then people pay whatever fee to have them watch a video with feedback about their product. $500 and you can curse out the person that designed the Microsoft Teams UI team for 10 minutes.

Everything has been this way forever. Especially cell phones and ISPs more than anyone else. Facebook only gets a grain of sand compared to the data your cell carrier and ISP are selling.

That said, if all we do is poo poo post, then kudos to anyone that figures out a way to profit on that who isn't named Jeffrey.
