Has LinkedIn Really Become a Dating Site and a Platform for Men to Send Offensive Pics?
Back in the day, LinkedIn was a respected platform and the quality of users were always high. I used to make great use of it to connect with potential social media clients. However after Microsoft bought out LinkedIn, the quality seemed to have diminished.
I am not the only one who agrees. Sure, people are still looking for professional connections. There seems to be more people spamming you than before too, but that's nothing compared to what I'm ready to say.
I have noticed over the years that people are starting to use LinkedIn for dating, and worse! I have received several dick pics from men on there!!
I mean that kind of behaviour is expected to be happening in platforms like Facebook and Instagram. But LinkedIn? I'm sorry but that alone is a big killer to the quality that used to be associated with LinkedIn.
Truly professional men and women will never even dream of acting out in that way. I have heard from good quality men that the reverse has happened to them on there as well. Women have actually sent them their nude photos. Eww.
Sending dick pics or nude photos is nothing but attention seeking and a sick way of showing power. Whether you know it or not, it's harassment. I can definitely say that 10 years ago that kind of behaviour would not be even know to be happening at LinkedIn. Today however, it certainly does.
I'll finish this off with a meme I just created.

Well thats unfortunate. Ive never used Linkedin before so I have no idea what exactly it does, isint it a job posting website of some sorts? I work for myself, hence why I dont use that site. But why would people use it as a dating site when there are so many other platforms for that??
I wish I had the answer for that but I don't. I agree that it's unfortunate.
I have a video on you tube called, "I am a LinkedIn criminal, watch me rehab" but I never did. It's my longest running and least successful platform out of many. I have failure after failure there. I'm it in now because it is big in se asia, but I still hate it. I post stupid stuff over there because I hate it so much. Did I mention I hate LinkedIn?
No you didn't but you aren't alone
lol
beautifull nice post @miriamslozberg <3 upvoted viist my wall when you free plz thanks alot
I've had a LinkedIN for several years, but no dick pics so far - I don't generally use it to network though. That's sad to hear.
You are lucky you didn't encounter it!!
I don't do a lot on linkedin but this is pretty surprising for there. I know so many people that are completely professional there.
Unfortunately things have changed for the worse.
That's a bummer. There are always some that will ruin things.
I'm jealous. I haven't gotten a single dick pic or any titties or anything! 😅
lol well if you stay on there longer it will happen!
Wow! I didn't know LinkedIn had that type of users. It's been super effective in bringing me in new business, and I love their features (endorsements, recommendations, etc.)
But dick picks? That's just out of line.
I guess with the saturation of users, some trash is bound to eventually find it's way...
Great write up!
It used to be a great and professional platform but it's certainly tanked south. It's damaged the reputation for sure. And thank you!
That really is too bad. Good thing we've got new alternatives like @steemgigs huh? :D
Happy Sunday Miriam!
That is bizarre! I would have never guess people were being creepy like that on LinkedIn. Especially with the businesses they are associated with listed in plan english. Crazy
i dont know what to say, but men have this strong chemical called testosterone that makes they brain not function 100%
I'm glad I never signed up for LinkedIn. I have been pestered to for years but I never gave in. I just started following you from the Steemit Superstars Facebook group. Thought I would check out a post and say hello.
