The LinkedIn algorithm could really sit down with itself and finally decide what it wants out of life.
One day it loves serious texts. The next day it loves pictures of coffee. The third day it ignores everything that makes sense. The fourth day it rewards a sentence you wrote while waiting for the parking app to open.
You write a post rooted in experience, in life, in mistakes, in struggles—in everything you’ve been through. The result? Three likes. One of them by accident. Then you write something like: “Success begins when you believe in yourself.” And the algorithm says: “Ah, this is the thought that changes civilization.” Maybe the problem isn’t with us. Maybe LinkedIn is just going through a phase of personal development.
It’s searching for itself, testing its limits, working on itself. An internal conflict rages between quality, superficiality, motivational phrases, and photos taken in elevators. That’s why we shouldn’t judge it; we need to give it space. Still, it would be nice if it let us know when it finally decides whether it wants substance, a circus, or a combination of both.
That way we’ll know how to prepare.
