Is LinkedIn transforming to Facebook?

A few weeks ago I read a post on LinkedIn from one guy that LinkedIn is becoming more like Facebook. People share more personal stories and photos to get attention(?) – words from that post.
What is your point of view?
Do you feel the same? If YES, why?

Absolutely, I've tried steering it to my interest without success. I generally treated the platform like being in the office, but things appear to have relaxed. Especially now with their tiktok style video feed.

It's going this way, which is pretty annoying, but for the time being, there is no real alternative.
@busmark_w_nika What I meant was that, for the time being, there is no real alternative to LinkedIn, despite LinkedIn becoming annoying because more and more people are posting personal stuff rather than professional stuff. There are other professional-oriented social media, for example, Xing, but the coverage is just not the same.
Very true. I don't use Facebook because not it become a toxic place and people like who continue to evolve and learn not a great place. I am using linkedIn from quite a time but now its looks like it will become Facebook.
@busmark_w_nika 😁 okay! how many followers do you have in LinkedIn?
@busmark_w_nika Okay good. I saw your recent interview with a developer on YT. I guess it was your first such event right?

Yes, I do, but again it is debatable some people like sharing their personal stories + some people only want professional connections. But for me, LinkedIn is becoming too crowded right now. Too much information at a single place
And Facebook transforming into something horrible?
You are right, I saw a lot of people now sharing catchy videos to get attention (and Linkedin promotes that content because it considers it engagement even if the content is very bad).
Also, some people take LinkedIn as Tinder as well...

@alessio_mavica LinkedIn as Tinder? Some people, seriously...
Maybe I should make a "swipe right" Chrome plugin for LI :)

LinkedIn transforming into Facebook? As someone who loves to dive into all things tech, including social media platforms, I can see where the comparison is coming from. With people sharing more personal stories and photos on LinkedIn, it does seem like the line between professional networking and socializing is getting blurrier. However, I believe it's also a positive sign of how our online presence is evolving. Embracing a more authentic and holistic approach to showcasing ourselves professionally can humanize the platform. So, while LinkedIn may be taking a page from Facebook's book, I think it's all in the name of fostering deeper connections and showcasing the multifaceted individuals behind the resumes. So, let's embrace this evolution and enjoy the ride! 🔗 #TechEnthusiast #DataScienceNerd

Yes, I feel so. too much of cringe content and useless messages
I don't feel that yet... but I sometimes it's feels a bit unrealistic, we only share "success stories". For me it was good as a corporate tool, connecting with headhunter and companies however as an entrepreneur it doesn't add much value. The new feature about commenting in articles I simply don't like it. However I prefer linkedin to other social media it feels like an upgrade in my contact agenda, that's all.
I was thinking exactly the same thing the other day!
Impressive web site, Distinguished feedback that I can tackle. Im moving forward and may apply to my current job as a pet sitter, which is very enjoyable, but I need to additional expand. Regards. study banner for youtube http://www.tadalive.com/forum/th...
I don't use facebook anymore very active, but it feels like LinkedIn is more and more turning into a influencer platform. I often read the same topics and headlines more and more. People should just share their thoughts and start nice, respectful discussions. But i try to see the good things. There are also some really interesting posts and you can make meaningful connections or collaborations :)
