I work/worked with a few executives I look up to, none of them use linkedin. They all have an account as they must, but that’s it. Talking about e.g., SVP, CEO, CTO leading hundreds or thousands of people.
I also know one that owns their own consulting firm, taking out a few millions of profit every year, they still have a picture from their previous job and never post, except job openings.
I absolutely despise current linkedin, it used to be a platform to connect with colleagues and apply to jobs. Now it’s just one of the N+1 social medias where the algorithm can show you content by narcisstic people you don’t care about. It Freaks me out^TM^ that somebody could look at this dumpster fire and not understand what is the problem with it.
it did let me find out who in my workplace is a nazi sympathizer, by allowing me to view who reposted pro-charlie-kirkk stuff
I knew a C-level who had a social media presence but the company just paid some media manager person to handle it. He had a linkedin, facebook, and a blog. It was all ghost written. He didn't even read it.
