My feed has turned into blogspam, exam cheatsheets, crappy AWS "architecture" diagrams, and low effort cyber security guides. Did you know SMTP is port 25?
I'm not sure if it's recycled Medium posts, AI generated, or people actually create this crap. Others "like" and comment on it, so who knows.
The quality of the content is not of primary concern if there is too much content out there to be able to spend time evaluating it in an effort to differentiate between applicants.
I've lost track of the number of times people would copy/paste who articles and series, posting it on linkedin as their own work. Usually Indians, but the second-most common nationality was Americans.
I used to report it, but it happened often enough that I just gave up.
My site is long-dead now, which tells you how long this has been going on, definitely 10+ years. No doubt now "AI" is commonplace it has gotten easier, but that's nothing new.
If I was interviewing one of these people and checked their linkedin and saw it was full of blogspam, I would assume they're likely lying about their skillsets and ask them to explain any of their buzzwords.
Linkedin feed is turning into somehing like a 9gag of rehashed memes.
