I mean does anybody other than blowhards full of nothing but air use or care a out LinkedIn? The last job they tried to push on me was working in a local five and dime in the city centre mall. Not disrespectinf the fine people who work there, but how do my master in thermodynamics and 20 years of experience with explosives fit in there?

It's honestly the best way to connect with tech recruiters.

I don't want to "connect" with recruiters, I want them to find me a job (since that's their job), and then I never want to hear from them until I start looking for a job again. If I wanted friends I wouldn't be using a job board.

Yes, that's what the connection is.

Of course! There are also trolls that post outlandish stories and then incredulously post screenshots of said stories to reddit or lemmy
