This isn’t relevant for LinkedIn.

That’s what the mediocre users scream to me.

I wonder what is relevant.

Is it the bloated, AI-infested landfill of fake wisdom and insecure self-promotion?

Or people posting “insights” that are just mildly rewritten clichés?

Or people announcing job updates with the same forced gratitude as hostages reading a script?

People writing, “So humbled to share…” when they are, in fact, bragging?

The great irony is that most of this content isn’t written for anyone. It’s written to be seen.

It’s not meant to be read - only acknowledged. The professional world’s version of teenagers posting thirst traps and deleting them if they don’t get enough likes.

This is what happens when people confuse visibility with value. When they care more about looking like experts than knowing anything useful.

When they optimize for algorithms, not people.

Meanwhile, the best work - the real insights, the bold ideas, the useful truths - come from those who don’t care about playing the game. The ones willing to say something real, even if it doesn’t go viral. The people whose work is interesting because they are interesting, not because they’re good at LinkedIn.

Professional stems from personal.

Insecurity stems from pretending otherwise.
