haha, i'm wayyyy too old to be in high or middle or any kind of school

I just saw their website. Seems like a "relatively close" alternative on the first look. Have you used it at some point? If so, could you elaborate on the "until they realized" part.. like what changed?

Sad thing is that they never did a single thing to stop "spam job ads" that companies put out just to signal "we're growing".

Well.. I suppose in their defense, they didn't do a single thing to solve any of the other problems the platform has either

I agree with the point you made, that's pretty much the only way to create a 'meaningful' relationship, or build trust.

But i'm thinking more in terms of just to share my thoughts/insights/learnings, etc. Blog & newsletter combo is good (i'm doing that for the last 1 year) but it requires far more effort than writing a ... for the lack of a better word, "LinkedIn post sized" content. You know, easy to write - easy to digest, gets the point across, and also gets to the "professional audience".

I .. actually agree with you. Good thing is that i've kept a blog since 2017, bad thing is that uh, well.. I wasn't super active on that. But seeing how LinkedIn's been changing in these past few years, I'm starting to invest more and more time on the blog + a newsletter, so i own (not in that way) the audience and not the platform, even if it's lesser people
