Everything is spammy today...

Like I was trying to find lyrics for a song today, and first 5 sites were showing author and song name, but the page said "we don't have lyrics now, you could be the one who will write them"

LinkedIn, who straight asks you to log in or create account

LinkedIn used to be good. Now it's full of senseless notification spam and ads. Edit: And fake connection requests.

LinkedIn has never been good. It's always been a snakepit of dark patterns. But I will believe that they've become even worse now.

(I'm still on LinkedIn, because many recruiters find me there and send work my way. But I barely use it. They do.)
