I got my last job there, and I have a steady queue of recruiters reaching out the whole time. So I will probably continue to use it as long as I need to eat. I don't engage with the feed at all though.

I believe the same applies to many others as well

I've also gotten my last few jobs there. It's great for that. Even if it's 90% low effort recruiter spam.

It's also full of "greatest team in the world", pizza parties, "incredible" training sessions, and "meetings of great minds". And now it's turned into a bunch of comedy reels. Blah.

You forgot "I am honoured and humbled to announce <insert mundane recognition>."

The comedy/tragedy of this is; whenever I talk to people outside of engineering at social gatherings, this is what they do. Tell me their resume and accomplishments. I’m like, can we just a have a conversation please?

		I always asks the question “what keeps you busy”? People think my wife and I are retired because of how often we travel. I say I’m not, I work remotely and try to keep the conversation away from work.

I think one of the most objectively pathetic things in the world is trying to ride the counterculture wave against a thing, while shilling the exact same thing.

Hey kids, you know how influencerslop sucks? proceeds to write influencerslop

Beeper has LinkedIn integration, so you can chat with recruiters with any Matrix app without ever opening the website.

This. That's the only reason I'm on there too. I completely avoid the news feed, but it does help when you having people reaching out and you need jobs.

It's a difference between "using it" and just having a dormant profile you wake to live when interested, though.
