Why is everyone posting selfies on LinkedIn?

Why is everyone posting selfies on LinkedIn?- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Why do female founders and other budding LinkedIn female influencers post their personal pictures(gym photos, selfies, random photos of themselves) on LinkedIn? It’s a professional platform for fucks sake. 

You don’t post these photos on Leap Club but LinkedIn is okay because validation. 

And nobody calls them out. Men are lost in simp behaviour and others ignore them.

Personal photos on LinkedIn

I have been scrolling LinkedIn a lot for job hunting purposes and can’t really understand why are people posting random self images with random post! Is there something a-logarithmic? , is this plain baiting?

What’s the idea behind posting selfies or pictures of oneself on random LinkedIn posts?!

Business Development Manager

The startup is Accel and Elevation backed. 

The company raised seed funding because the founder and team is from IIT- Kharagpur, and Accel + Elevation have people from IIT-Kharagpur working in their team. 

The founder has no prior work experience, no manners on how to speak with anyone (office boy, or women employees) keeps firing people who don’t agree with him, insists on being in the office for 12 hours because he pays us. 

Hiring criteria is -
1. Single people, so no distraction. He asks are you single or in a relationship (in the interview)
2. No married people 
3. Hire women only if they can stay in office till 5 AM (US based startup)
4. Everyone has to be in office for 12 hours compulsory for all 6 days of week

He boasts on how the VCs will save his ass even if the product fails, has said that worst case scenario I will make money because I know company will be acquired. 

He hires domain experts, makes them create playbook and train juniors to do the work, and then fires them saying "We have to stay lean, and this is a bad market". He did this with 3 departments already. 

How are the VCs not asking him basic due diligence questions? He is now raising 8 million follow up round.

This is grapevine for godsake. Name the damn startup.

No one looks like their LinkedIn profile picture, prove me wrong!

Most of the people just keep adding so many irrelevant pictures to their posts!! I mean what do they get out of it. If it’s anything to do with regards to the picture, I understand. Other than that, it has become a trend to add photos to the posts. They say they will have greater reach and greater views. It’s so annoying. I don’t understand the difference between Instagram and LinkedIn. Most of the time I feel Instagram is better than LinkedIn. All these so called entrepreneurs have also started doing this shit and feels 😖😣

LinkedIn pe rant!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Do posting consistently on LinkedIn to get likes, comments, and shares and more followers and connections help in getting more opportunities, especially for freshers?

I have observed a few freshers and many professionals nearly posting daily on LinkedIn. They post primarily their personal opinions and anything different they do in their professional life, such as certifications, their own articles, something new they tried, visits, and even (mainly women) adding their workplace photos with even irrelevant posts.

I have no problem with anything they do, but I want to know if it helps build one's career.

Does popularity on LinkedIn matter especially for freshers?

Is it just mine or is everyone’s LinkedIn blowing up with absolute crap. Like the most basic thing people are posting and making it sound like they discovered something huge or they’ve found some crazy insights. 

Everyone is trying to build their own LinkedIn brand and it’s just become frustrating. 

A lot of recruiters/founders still put out hiring posts on LinkedIn 

Some funny posts - 

- All founders acting like they’ve achieved something huge by being on the Forbes/times now/etc 40 under 40 list 
- Today someone posted about the business model of Shyamji Chole Bhature 
- People copy pasting the same fake stories

Confused again🫤? Are you too??

Why ?

I personally admire people who don't need to be on or use social media to run their businesses. But it's become difficult to avoid not sharing something ever so often to stay relevant. 

People have goldfish memory spans and seem to forget things easily these days. They need reminders that xyz brand/person still exists.

Plus I'm a private person and don't really like talking about myself much. And meaningful share-worthy work milestones only happen once in a while.

Any good examples of people who have grown personal brands without posting occasional selfies on LinkedIn? How about outside LinkedIn?

The only one that comes to my mind is Michael Burry, but I'm not nearly as good a trader as him.

How do you build a personal brand without being pompous cringe?

Product Owner

I’m starting a new channel called Humans of LinkedIn, where I will talk about all the hardships faced by the Influencers and Top Voices on LinkedIn in getting customers for their Topmate or course pages. The idea is to help people build a brand for themselves so that they can sell their services to people who are in genuine need of help and/or mentorship. If you are helping people for free, that is not acceptable by us, because we believe people should only help people for money. 

P.S. We will only accept sob stories, and if you do not have a sob story, we will help you create one.

P.P.S. Out here for making money, so don’t expect us to publish your stories for free.

Its just sad to see so many content creators(personal branding experts being the most of them) utilize linkedin to promote their instagram photos with a wall of text that is completely unrelated.
