Lately, I’ve been wondering whether LinkedIn is slowly becoming something very different from what it was originally meant to be.👥 📥My inbox is increasingly filled with commercial messages, sales pitches and generic outreach, most of the times unrelated to my role, industry or areas of expertise. One message is fine, ten messages are manageable but when the noise becomes constant, something changes. You start checking LinkedIn less often. You become more selective about opening messages. And eventually, you may simply stop paying attention.

Lately, I’ve been wondering whether LinkedIn is slowly becoming something very different from what it was originally meant to be.👥

📥My inbox is increasingly filled with commercial messages, sales pitches and generic outreach, most of the times unrelated to my role, industry or areas of expertise.

One message is fine, ten messages are manageable but when the noise becomes constant, something changes.

You start checking LinkedIn less often.

You become more selective about opening messages. And eventually, you may simply stop paying attention.

And that’s where I see the real risk, we might start missing valuable messages/opportunities because they are buried under the noise.💥

LinkedIn’s real value has always been about people, knowledge and meaningful professional connections.

Is LinkedIn becoming a platform where the quantity of outreach is starting to outweigh the quality of the connection?❓
