Why is everyone posting selfies on LinkedIn?

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.

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?

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.

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 😖😣

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.

Where do you draw the line?
