    LinkedIn is like a tenth as bad as others. At least it is (still, somewhat) marginally useful.

    Well the ads percentage in the feed keeps going up. And more AI generated crap. But show me a social network (that isn’t Lemmy) where that isn’t true.














  • This is a real phenomenon. Men are more attractive when they’re already in a relationship.

    There are similar psychological effects that exist elsewhere. A job applicant is more attractive if they currently have a job. A scholarship application is more attractive if you list your existing scholarships. The effect is basically: someone else found you desirable, and therefore I must also.

    The effect is so strong that it encourages people to fake it to gain the benefits.
