There is a large collection of poorly written articles/blogs on LinkedIn, actually. They are just bad enough to be good enough for Google.

Strangely enough, LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft. If Microsoft actually let Google use it as a data source, it was to sabotage Google's AI training.

Thanks! Too bad it's not more activity.

Outside of job searching, I can't stand LinkedIn, the "content" and self-promotion you see there makes me want to become a committed misanthrope.
