LinkedIn is my new blogging platform

2 points by codeguppy 4 hours ago | 5 comments

I had different blogs (on blogspot, on their own domain, in markdown, etc.).

Now my blogging platform in LinkedIn where I put some sort of marchitecture articles:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/mveteanu/recent-activity/all/

What's your opinion on this?

Personally, LinkedIn is one of the sites I avoid like the plague. Anything that appears only there is something that I will never see.

I really hate Linkedin as a content source. There are annoying colleagues whom I want to ghost, I don't want them to see any of my activities on Linkedin, such as liking a post.

I prefer anonymous social networks.

And people on Linkedin are very pretentious, marketing themselves for attention. There are good contents shared on Linkedin, but the platform is a bit insincere, like clubhouse.

You put yourself behind a login. If that's intentional, ok. Otherwise, you've isolated yourself from an audience.

You may end up on /r/LinkedInLunatics/. If you believe all publicity is good publicity, that's a good thing.

Your brand is no longer your brand. You're just another poster. May as well have found some default subreddit to post on buried four levels deep in the comments.

Adding to this.

You may grow your brand in a specific subset of LinkedIn users (not the ones outside of it though), but you may also damage your brand in a specific subset of LinkedIn users.

And yes, your brand is no longer your brand, it's LinkedIn's now.
