Companies are getting very aggressive at exploiting our existing personal data, opting us in without proper notice or consent. Here are some recent examples.
I told LinkedIn to opt me out. They told me to send a message to another department. Did it and it still says I’m in on the program. So I went and removed most of my data. I’m planning on getting rid of the account soon. I’ve never reviewed a job from LinkedIn in the entire time I was on the platform. What am I even doing on it? I can manage my own network much better than they can. And their jobs are all AI mining operations it feels like.
I found my current one because LinkedIn was the only platform that knew the person I had been working with some years ago. Wrote her, sent my resume, got hired. But LinkedIn was nothing but a contact list in this case.
honestly the ONLY reason I’m still on Linkedin is the entertainment value. Threads by game devs are just…wild. just that ONE specific group provides a great hearty chuckle in the morning without insanely idiotic they are.
You want to read threads by individuals who think they float on water, their shit don’t stink, and each one is a personal jesus and then fight with each other over it? go read threads by game devs on linkedin.

I, on the other hand, accidentally found the best job in my 14 year long career.
Not to say that I like this shit that’s happening. 🙄

So, experiences are different. My point exactly.
Mine as well. And now? Beer?
Beer sounds good. 🍻
