LinkedIn is a cesspit

In the past I had to use LinkedIn for work. 

Apparently it was essential. It was the last unknown secret to finding new clients and lucrative business leads. If you connected with people you would achieve endless business meeting requests, large repeat orders, life long professional friends and untold riches.

Bollocks.

There are people who make a living offering courses on how to use LinkedIn. How they generated "£10 million in sales" and "just by playing around with it". Fuck, there are still plenty of gullible people fuelling these sharks.

All I ever got from it was:

• Recruiters trying to connect, who then think they could head hunt me to a company I would never want to work for.

• Suppliers who wanted to spam me their crap that I would never have any intention of purchasing.

• People boasting about how great their job was, how they started a company from £1 investment (usually means they pinched, borrowed, re mortgaged, robbed a bank, sold the kids) and it how turns over millions, which means they can then boast about their new car (usually leased), new house (third mortgage), jet setting holidays (tax deductible business trips), buying parents a new home (another tax dodge), plastic surgery for their wife and dog (usually cannot tell which is which).

• Spunk bucket fucktards who use it like Facebook (FaceBore) and post about their kids, babies, pets and generally anything non business related, as their work is boring, their company is shite, or they have no job.

For all the above, LinkedIn to them was a wet dream. To me it was the sticky wet patch in a well used fuck pit.

Maybe I should have paid hundreds to a LinkedIn training shark to convince me otherwise. I did what most rational people did with a LinkedIn account. I deleted it. Nearly 600 twatty suppliers and fucked me off clients gone.

LinkedIn really is the wank stain blot on the social media landscape.

It really should be dumped in a dog turd bag of apps and thrown in a bush.
