Why do people post so much crap on linkedin?
My feed is filled with dumb “advices”, so called “professionals” that post the most entry level stuff and all sorts of shit that if I were a recruiter I would stay away from these people

I might be in the minority here, but I see it as it was meant to be. People presenting themselves as professionaly as possible, linking to their projects and their workplace's events. Maybe Linkdin is different in other regions or cultures.
I think I'm starting to hate "professional".
It literally means playing a corporate role, not being genuine, trying to get connections to make your career take off.
It's not genuine, or warm, or fun... It's just corporate shit. What a world.
Yep, but to me that's what linkdin is to me. A playground for making oneself as great as possible for recruiters. I get my warmth and fun from other places, while linkdin stays freezing cold.
I had to scroll through my front page just now to confirm that it's still that corporate and cold bulletin board. Yep, every single post was either a corporate post about acquiring projects or holding presentations or some non-genuine post of someone quoting how awesome their company is.
I kinda like that linkdin is just that, and I don't have to look through it for nice personal interactions, because they don't exist there.
Yeah I can see your point. And I smiled at "freezing cold". I mean, to me it's more like "people acting" but its always up for subjective interpretation. Also depends on who is in your list of contacts. I have mostly recruiters I don't know at all.
