> what did they do with LinkedIn?? I havent noticed any change.

I think that's his point. He's saying that LinkedIn has the opportunity to do lots of interesting things, and appears to be squandering it.

LinkedIn is excellent as it is; its a utility to keep your CV updated and connect with professionals. We don't want FB-like functionality here, thank god.

  • LinkedIn is a massive pile of dark patterns and spam. What universe are you living in that that's "excellent" or even acceptable?

    • Well, it is excellent platform for self-declared thought leaders offering groundbreaking insights about business/culture and innovation.

  • Just spam and advertisement. That is all LinkedIn has ever been. The contact aspect is shallow at best if you don't work in HR. It's a circle jerk.

  • To be clear, I don't have an opinion on the issue myself. I was just trying to clarify the meaning of the grandparent comment.
