As much as you all dislike LinkedIn and the cringy posts, keep in mind that for certain parts of the market it is >the< main professional forum. It is where your investors live, and their capital providers live. So, play nice, yeah?

Actually I think I'll play mean, specifically _because_ I want to be radioactive to investors and private equity. I sincerely believe there is a better way to exist and work without being beholden to a system that incentivises quarterly thinking at the cost of everything else.
For sure higher quality social network than Facebook. I personally like it. (Note that I follow only lithuanian posts. It may be our local language specifics.)
Yep, I've co-founded several companies and sold them for near $1B in aggregate. My investors and customers are on there, sometimes posting nice things about us. So I give it a thumbs-up and move on. Nothing worth rage-bating about. Mostly I go there to play linkedin.com/games.
What does that have to do with RAM?
Absolutely nothing, as 99% of comments to the post. But it is the norm on HN it seems.

I think I’ve legitimately taken career hits because I cannot stomach it. The culture of LinkedIn is absolutely repulsive to me.
“What trying to protect the feelings of a group of people who will never care about me taught me about b2b sales”
The VCs I know think the LinkedIn feed is a joke, too.
Most people use it for messaging and keeping contacts. The feed and the posturing that occurs on it is a weird sideshow.
I give 0 fucks about it.
I know a lot of people who use LinkedIn, and I don't think any of them are happy with their job. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I sell my labor. I don't sell my respect.
