- Adults post fabricated stories on LinkedIn for engagement, similar to children's imaginative play, but labeled as thought leadership.
- LinkedIn has evolved from a professional networking site to an attention economy focused on content farming and monetization.
- AI-generated content and automated interactions create a 'robot circlejerk' on LinkedIn, distancing genuine human connection.
- A viral story about a job applicant rewarded for kindness is fictional; real-life scenarios often involve exploitation and rejection.
