LinkedIn is trash, it's a glorified resume where narcissists go to brag about themselves.

Adding a dating feature is only going to benefit two groups of people: the ones who have the highest paying jobs, and people who are looking to be with someone for their money. For everyone else, this is just going to make LinkedIn more repulsive than it already was.

Edit - I'm lazy, ignore this and read the article

I thought it was for people to suck corporate cock and post terrible hiring stories.

Whereas I've avoided social networking sites (like FB/IG/etc) because I've always known most folks use it to brag about how much fun they're having or what they just bought - LinkedIn is a horrible mixture of how much corporate KoolAid they can drink and their newest job/promotion.

I don't mind being proud of friends who are doing well but seeing it in condensed milk form makes me sick and applies to both.
