LinkedIn is Social Media for Sociopaths

The notification bell doesn’t ring.
It pings.
A surgical pulse letting you know
someone you haven’t spoken to since 2018
is thrilled to announce a lateral move
into a vacuum.

Here, no one has ever had a bad Tuesday.
No one has wept in their car,
or stared at the ceiling at 3 AM wondering why.
Empathy is not a KPI.
Vulnerability is just a content strategy:
I failed, and here is what it taught my brand.

We harvest our divorce, our burnout, our father’s stroke,
turning raw grief into engagement metrics,
optimising the soul for the algorithm.
Dave from supply chain comments:

Behind the three-piece suit and the AI-smoothed headshot,
the machinery hums without friction.
No heartbeats. Just throughput.
A sleek, pastel-blue panopticon
where everyone is selling a solution
to a problem they invented.

Smile.
Update your bio.
The market is exceptionally bullish on dead eyes.
