I blame this on UX being taken away from designers and handed to hub-spot wielding midwit execs. Everything becomes a landing page. Everyone is optimizing for customer acquisition over customer success. No one cares because the customers have nowhere else to go.
LinkedIn UX really sucks for getting anything done, or trying to use the services they want you to pay for.
They are so focused on upsell CTAs you can't actually use the product.
I've posted a Job, I want to review applications. How do you think I do that?

Trying to use any paid business function on LinkedIn is like this. All of their UX leads down blind-alleys. Which is a shame, because since the enshittification of X (which I still think is much better, despite everything) all business attention has moved there.

The Crown Inn, Birmingham, is now Grade II Listed! 🎉
Regarded as the birthplace of heavy metal music, it's been recognised for the role it played in the development of the genre and for launching the career of famous Birmingham based band @BlackSabbath. 🤘

"There are growing calls to protect a street in Birmingham that was home to the UK’s first purpose-built repertory theatre, a pub that hosted Black Sabbath’s first gig and the country’s oldest working cinema." #brumhour

Re-living my old life on the Chiltern line from Marylebone to Moor St. I forgot how stressful it is when the WiFi doesn’t work. Definitely better to never leave the house.

Mystery of UK productivity deficit is easy to solve. We spend most of our work time filling in @HSBC_UK ‘know your customer’ forms so they can share our data with ‘agencies’.

#Flatpack2021 is not your average Flatpack. We’re kicking off 4 whole months of cinematic treats on 21 May with a (virtual) bang, and an extra special programme calls for a fresh new look! Huge thanks to Jacques Kleynhans and Justin Hallström for the awesome visuals. 👀 👂 👄
