LinkedIn has sunk lower than Facebook. Like Facebook, every once in a while I use it to look up somebody I used to know or to remind myself of a name I've forgotten. If I look somebody up and see that they're actually posting and engaging on the platform, I feel bad for them.

I say it's lower than Facebook because I know people who rely on Facebook for legitimately useful things — niche communities and local groups that just happened to coalesce on Facebook and were vital enough to survive the decline of the platform. I've never heard of anything similar on LinkedIn.

There's no legitimate use of LinkedIn that will keep people on it if they stop seeing it as a necessity.
