The sites only profitability is selling user data. Tech bros posting made up stories about how hard they grind doesn’t pay the shareholders
LinkedIn is and always has been a shit company, zero surprises.
It also purportedly has a specific model that uses this stolen data to write the most insufferable self-aggrandizing posts possible for you that commonly begin with „So proud to have been a part of…“
Who tf still uses chrome
the extension scanning is just the tip of it. your browser autofill data, saved addresses, payment methods, browsing history, bookmarks – all of that together paints a shockingly complete picture of who you are. most people have no idea how much identity data is sitting in their browser profile right now, just waiting for any site with the right javascript to enumerate it.
Boycott the axis of evil companies
That’s why my laptop kind of lags a bit when I go to their website. It’s always that website

Come on guys do you need an article to tell you the tooth fairy isn’t real? LinkedIn is basically the most valuable advertising real estate and data broker on the web. They know who you are, your company, your title, and who/what you’re looking at. They can also use your IP/device id to deanonymize you from data provided by other trackers which generally don’t know your identity.
