A guilty pleasure.
Being the sort of person [1] who likes Ed Wood movies[2] I love LinkedIn, despite its immutable hatefulness. Its sole virtue is the sparkling clarity with which confirms every prejudice a cynic could possibly confect about the world of free enterprise[3].
Whether it modestly disclosing industry awards one has “won” for representing a prolific advertiser in the hosting organisation’s magazine, insincerely ejaculating words of delight at such news from your network, virtue signalling your profound commitment to flexible working policies, or articulating pat advice on job interview techniques, posing recycled logical conundrums from Facebook that “only a genius” could solve or desperately hunting for candidates, any candidates for a support lawyer role in one or other of Arab Emirates, but none of the gigabytes of output from LinkedIn has of any merit, interest or passing distraction of less sober social networks, yet somehow it is strangely compelling.
However idiotic LinkedIn is, Amwell J still publishes its snitty ramblings there , here.
