"I came from nothing and now I'd like to announce that I've accepted a position at your favorite FAANG, and I am so humbled to make more money than you, and to have had a degree from a brand-name university. #betterthanyouall"
"What's that? I can't hear you over how much money I'm making"
I pretty much only look at messages or invites once per week and don't use it for anything else anymore. The constant self-congratulation is indeed exhausting. Whether it's people graduating from something, or finding their "dream job" (watch them change dream jobs a year later). The main feed is very facebook-like as well, its gotten very low quality. I suppose LinkedIn likes it that way, but for me its kind of lost its shine.
I can't stand all the humble bragging.
