Why We Left LinkedIn
I was one of the first users on LinkedIn, part of the first few thousands that joined the, then professional network, as early as 2003. Slowly assembling my professional network of experts, friends, and contacts.
Fast forward to 2024, LinkedIn has changed. It has become a place of fake news, hate speech, and self-promoting individuals who had nothing to say, yet kept publishing low-grade posts that quickly became the norm.
But not only that, LinkedIn has morphed it’s look and feel becoming the bastard child of Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, adding stories, and other features they thought would improve the platform (which was lagging behind for years on years). Not only did that not improve the quality of professional posts, it made it indiscernible from Facebook.
So, on October 2024, I decided to leave LinkedIn, and give up on the immense network of contacts I built for more than two decades. It just wasn’t the platform I joined in 2003, and I truly didn’t need the junk it was feeding me.
