takkiinvincible··on Shameless Work Influencers Are the Bane of LinkedIn
A lot of the comments seem to suggest that good quality content is missing from LinkedIn and other mainstream social media platforms.

I wonder what people consider to be good quality content?

I wonder if it would be possible to devise a different/better version of LinkedIn?

Could you create a social media platform that takes the positive aspects of LinkedIn (large network of users that are, at least ostensibly, targeting ambition, hard work, and self-improvement) but that leaves behind the accompanying parade of inauthenticity, brand names, buzzwords, tropes, and recycled posts?

I wonder what this would look like? Would it be possible?

One idea… a social media platform where people promote, share, and encourage meaningful projects :)

Thoughts?

I agree - it seems that all social media platforms suffer from this. Original/useful content seems to lose out in the battle for user engagement. I wonder if you could create a new type of social media platform that overcomes this problem?

"a vast circle jerk in the cloud" is got to be one of the best descriptions of the LinkedIn feed I've heard!

What do you think the ideal social media feed would look like?

What would a better social media platform look like in your opinion?

You say you haven't seen a single post there that added value to your life. Hypothetically, if you saw a post that DID add value to your life, what would that post(s) look like?
