You’ll never get the recruiters to participate, because their companies will never let them. LinkedIn is corpo hive-mind central, friendly to corpos first and foremost. What you’re proposing wouldn’t be friendly to corpos, inherently, so they’ll never join, and they hold the strings because they are the ones with jobs to offer.

You’re literally asking how to take the corporatism out of LinkedIn when that is precisely what allows it to exist. Why would any company participate on a platform that gives workers the advantage? Hint, they won’t.

Anyone wanna buy a 3D TV? Or maybe we can play an Augmented Reality game. I know, let’s trade some NFTs. Nah, clearly VR is the ticket.

Maybe somebody should let meta know VR is yesterday’s news, AI is the hot new scam nobody asked for and nobody wants.

Not sure if this will help, but I recently started an independent site covering tech and gaming. It isn’t monetized, no pop ups, no asking for your email for a newsletter. Zero modern annoyances, just a good old fashioned blog from longtime experts in the field.

I’ve called it Guilty Gamer, you can find it here.

We are covering things like gaming, retro gaming, e-readers, mechanical keyboards, and really anything else that strikes our fancy. Basically, the site was born out of the demise of the industry. As the mainstream is pumping out AI-written slop to please Google’s bots, we are busy making content for humans by humans.

We are also ignoring the majority of SEO practices, which means it is a site built with direct navigation in mind, which is why I wanted to reply and share. It’s heartening to see others also realizing bookmarks may be the wave of the future thanks to Google killing the open web.

Just one more thing you can thank Google for. Titles wouldn’t be made like this if Google didn’t reward them with traffic.
