- Hi Guys!
Today I did a video on why LinkedIn is so Toxic. It is the most distinguished social media platform for "professionals". Soon after I started using LinkedIn I started questioning-Does anyone else find LinkedIn toxic? because of all the things I kept seeing/noticing-toxic positivity, toxic workplace environment posts, praising toxic capitalism and during pandemic LinkedIn became even more toxic. I was hearing more opinions like "LinkedIn is fake", "linkedin is pointless", "linkedin cringe", "linkedin is garbage" on Reddit but people like Gary Vee and other "entrepreneur" influencers still kept promoting it. In this video I question LinkedIn and explain why I find this social media platform/app extremely toxic (and why I will still use it because I am a clown)
If you have watched it, Thanks a lot! I appreciate it so so much!

Some people put really cringy, self congratulatory blog style posts on there too and I have to wonder who they’re writing those for. I read one that was written by someone interning for the same organization I was, where they talked about being “unaware” of the very issue our organization works to keep under control before starting work there, and being super intimidated by having to actually, yknow, talk to and share ideas with “highly intellectual” senior staff members, all framed as this kind of “now I understand why organizations like ours actually exist and I’m determined to join them in their fight, and I also learned not to just freak out and run away from intimidating situations, wow I grew so much” message and I’m like, wtf? Who is this for? And do you think you’re doing yourself any favors?
Ughh trust me I see these type of posts EVERY SINGLE DAY!😂😂 I swear I will write that type of post myself just to I guess be not weird since everyone writes. Especially my peers who are now getting jobs out of college will write 2000 word essay on their page thanking parents, kindergarten teachers, neighbors and their dog🐩 !😂 as if it’s Oscars or Nobel Prize
Linkedin was decent before it became Facebook for "professionals"
It's now worse and more toxic than Facebook, Instagram and Twitter combined.
True, but they then realized there's no money in a static online resume depository 😅
The struggle stories are the worst. It’s almost like they’re telling you be grateful for your crappy job because you could be worse off.
indeed... 🥲
Those are the absolute worst and the LinkedIn influencers keep encouraging it on the website 🤦♂️🙄
For me, the worst on LinkedIn is the abusive hiring posts. Like" If you enjoy having weekends, you won't fit here". Or the ones with all the unrealistic and extensive requirements and multiple hiring process steps with no mention of how much the salary is.
People forget they are dealing with humans sometimes. It happens in all social media in one way or another.
Oh Hey there! Thanks for watching) I 100% agree with you. As someone who had experience and graduated, when I was applying for internships, they were asking for 2 years of experience????😂😂😂 I’m glad I’m not there
my first filter for job inquiries on linked in is salary being offered.
But that's not LinkedIn fault. Is hiring personnel's fault.
You're literally one of those toxic people. Literally every other post on LinkedIn is some millennial whining about how hard job search is, how it's too demanding, or some cringy, self-righteous platitudes like "we're all humans".
Job search sucks and a lot of companies don't make it easier. You whining about it for the 55 billionths time isn't going to change that.
@@pearlsswine and you are the boomer who thinks working unpaid overtime is gonna look great for company. reality is companies look to exploit the younger workers who are new to the industry because they don't know better. and many get stuck in a job for too long. its all about working smart not hard. now its all about stretching each task given by supervisor as long as possible. no need to run to boss only to be rewarded with more work. many people work slower by design. and the fast worker who takes on too much work burnouts. and when its 5p, its time to be in the car ready to go home not behind the desk. im still confused at my office why so much of my department is still actively working at 5p. luckily, the interns who get paid hourly btw understand and are gone by 445p.
I completely agree, fake struggle posts are so ubiquitous, annoying!!!!
Some of the CEO characters make you wonder what they actually do all day 🤔
Lmaoooo I wonder about that too. Posting 897 posts a day about being CEO 🧐🤨😂
As little as possible whilst reaping the rewards. And the people who are at the bottom grinding their souls out for them whilst struggling to afford to live are the ones getting told to "work harder or you should have done better at school then you wouldn't be so poor".
The worst thing on Linkedin is - well, everything, and they expect you to already have years and years of experience under your belt.
Like, if I had experience, I wouldn't be on your site, right?
Not only that but more and more people absolutely change and glorify their position names and background making it harder for other candidates to compete. When in reality, David from next door worked as store clerk and not as “sales specialist”😂😂😂😂
@@iamassyl I had to change my "job" (which, I didn't even have) to something in advertising sales management and it still didn't work.
But that’s implying you had a job.... but that would imply you experience... but that would imply you had a job...🤔
@@WillowThomkin I lied and ended up fudging shit.
in canada, i had to put fake experience to land my first job and then fake the period of employment to land current job. lying is part of hiring process.
Promise me that you will keep grinding! Corporates have taken over TH-cam *smh*
I will😎 been doing it for a year and so far enjoy it
hahahahahah this was toooo funny. Im like you, i spend so much time on there, scrolling and reading. But i totally agree with 1- whats the point of showing someone saw your account. 2- the types of stories people post, all struggle and "look at me" vibe. so cringy !
This is why I have a separate linkedin account just to stalk and troll people.
I can resonate with u soooo much,lots of love to u for spreading this awareness
Thanks 😊
You are entertaining. I enjoyed this video. It helps because I'm not happy right now because my recent LinkedIn post got hardly any attention (I blame the algorithms more than my post). P.S. I think you can get rid of people being able to see if you view their profile. Under "Visibility", Profile viewing options. But maybe it's new, since this video . Interesting, entertaining video.
May be off topic , but thats a hella deep relaxing voice man !!!!
Great rant! I enjoyed this.
if its free, you are the product.
LinkedIn became the new facebook of the office + cringy old 4chan. I don't bother with LinkedIn anymore. Costs too much sanity.
I had to update my ancient LinkedIn acct from 2012 (😅) for a new job and I kind of Hate LinkedIn it so much. I don’t remember this being fb … but worse 😆. You stated everything I dislike. I haven’t used LinkedIn for jobs in the past and honestly I don’t want to be connected to any of my old jobs. It feels so awkward to use . Love your video. You’re 100% right on every point!
I think of you whenever I see a really "cringey" post. Good word. Glad I saw this video of yours months ago when I started LinkedIn. Also funny that you say you look at LinkedIn all the time; I do too.
Thank you 🫶 and I STILL do haha
I've only made a LinkedIn recently and the amount of times I've already accidentally clicked on somebody profile... I must look like an absolute stalker lmao
I’ve put myself in private bc of that..and sometimes I am curious lmao
I just stumbled upon your channel-you're hilarious.
You can turn your settings to private. This way LinkedIn will say "A LinkedIn member viewed your profile" instead.
Spot On!! This is great!!
Nice topic. Read my mind.. I cringe when reading for example
Some ex coworker you think is an Idiot posting how they are an expert in some topic they are clueless on.
Or Someone who gets fired or laid off posts how they loved the company that fired them and they want them to succeed. Wholly stockholm syndrome.
lmao your examples at 3:30 are so funny
Thanks 😎😎😎
You can make it that you people don’t see that you visited their profile in settings, only catch is then you’ll also not see who visited your profile.
Premium allows you to be incognito while still seeing who visited yours, which sounds like fair trade.
This is so strange. TH-cam is no allowing some of my posts to Comments to post. Any idea why?
I love this!
I honestly don't know why I have a LinkedIn account at this point. I don't have my current employer there because I want to keep that info private from some past employers. It encourages people to share way too much information. Also I am sick of all the viral feel good crap on there. The video of a man insisting on helping a crippled man cross the road, the video of giving a homeless man $10,000, and all the other nonsense that is fake.
Yep
Hey, Assyl! Are you from Kazakhstan by any chance? Will be happy to connect.
I feel like invading linked in with my troll skills. Ive been sold
It shouldn't exist, that's it.
PSA: use it for job hunting and then hide it.
I subscribed. I agree 100%.
Thats y i am planning to quit it...
Small advice: Make sure to plan it out carefully so that you have everything figured out!
Leave your profile blank. Make a bold statement.
not bold enough for that 😂😬
Couldn't agree more
I'm ceo and co-founder of
2 people, innovative media company
😁
These influencers... despicable ... lmaoooooo. Straight facts!
Thank you.
What you recommend alternative of LinkedIn?
I am currently in France and here I use Seekube (more like online career fairs/instant interviews) + I also like Otta (typical job postings but i like the insights into company, some direct postings, and more remote opportunities
@@iamassyl Great. I’m from the USA.
Oh cool we have found another Joshua Fluke
So what’s the alternative to getting a job??
Entrepreneurship, inheritance, disability checks, living with parents, homemaking, etc.
Submit an application with a resume?
Finding a job outside of LinkedIn?
What nationality are u? Im getting russian speaker vibes 🤔 also great video! I had the same experience with "stalking" people, I was pretty embarrassed to realise that people saw that 😅
banger video
Thanks!
I'm sorry I ever linked in. It's like putting your DNA on police profile when your trying to find out that you descended from Denisovans and that's all.
😂😂💀
Love this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂why do I relate so much?
If you still use it we can link up
Sorry man. But you can either sign up for Premium or close the account or just live with it.
You shouldn't have to pay for a platform to make it halfway usable.
Yes, maybe it's time to delete my LinkedIn account, I only use it to host my CV, and to make me feel unemployable.
the most
cringy thing
about LinkedIn
is
Broetry
People are willing to pay to see who views profiles.
Is anyone else having trouble posting comments here or is it just me?
Get rid of the app!
In Europe I see normal posts but in the EEUU posts are clingy and douchebags CEO's looking for approbation or thinking they are the next Steve Jobs
I'm from Portugal (an European country) and LinkedIn is also full of toxic stuff here. I've seen employers complaining that nobody wants to work for them (go wonder why). And even right-wing political parties have their pages there.
Lol what is your LinkedIn? Would love to connect. I also have DS/DE background which is why I'd like to connect based on tech background.
i want to add you to my linkedin please. :D
Roll up your sleeves and do some descent blue collar work, its more fulfilling , nothing like doing a day's work getting a beer and not worrying about internet social shit.
Learn a good trade be good at it so you have job security and you'll make descent money .
You don't understand. Why would LinkedIn remove features that make it money? You call it toxic, I call it profitable.
Okay but how “someone viewed their profile” feature brings LinkedIn money or new users?
@@iamassyl They will annoy you with "somebody from anonymous company viewed your profile". The curiosity will be killing you until you buy premium to see who exactly it was.
Okay but I don’t have a premium and still see who views the profile. However I know that they have some tricks to get people to buy Premium.
@@iamassyl if multiple people see your profile in a month you won’t be able to see.
@@Sad-mm8tm That's even a worse and shady feature because now they are trying to scam users into buying premium just like those scammy guru ads all over the internet
I believe you just don't know how to use LinkedIn. I mostly see useful content since I follow people posting content about work and techniques I can learn and relate to.
Also, if you just explore the app you would know that you can disable the stalking notice.
