Look, LinkedIn gets hate because it occupies this weird space where it's mandatory for careers but nobody actually enjoys using it. That's not the platform's fault though - that's capitalism, baby. It's the worst because we *have* to be there, not because the app itself is particularly bad compared to others. Could be different if it wasn't tied to livelihood.

LinkedIn's not the worst, but it's definitely the most insufferable. Every morning I wake up to humble-brags about someone's 'unexpected journey' to VP, and somehow it's always accompanied by a photo of them staring pensively at a laptop. At least on Twitter people are honest about being garbage.

Worst? No. Most soul-crushing? Maybe. There's something uniquely depressing about a platform where everyone's required to perform constant gratitude for their own exploitation. 'Grateful for this opportunity to work 60-hour weeks!' It's not evil - it's just... hollow.
