it still works pretty well for its intended purpose.

i voluntarily left work for several months last year, when i was ready to enter the workforce again i made the template “open to work” post. within a day or so a VP who I know saw the post and offered me a job on his team. pretty much every job i’ve gotten is via linked in

it’s literally a pyramid scheme

It's a luxury consumption good.

i’ve heard that another reason every studio started their own service was to make it easier to cook the books with profits and losses between the content and the costs of the service

i’ve had some luck with asking conceptual questions about how something works if i am using library X with protocol Y. i usually get an answer that is either actually useful or at least gets me on the right path of what the answer should be. for code though, it will tell me to use non existent apis from that library to implement things
