It's been like this for a decade, folks!

Lumon Industries from Severance now has its own LinkedIn page. Can we stop for a second and appreciate the irony that imaginary company made that way to represent all horrors of office work looks absolutely normal on LinkedIn?

It seems that Meta tries to run out of candidates on key markets by banning all previously fired people in their blacklist.

Why am I not surprised?

LinkedIn is in general a very odd place to search for a job, but it's even worse than I thought:

They add hidden skills for you. Those skills are not visible in your profile, but they are used when someone is searching for candidates or when you are searching for a job.

In my case, API and OOP are clearly not relevant to my job, but who cares, if by adding these hidden skills LN makes money — by showing me promoted programming jobs.

I would not be mad if those skills would appear in my profile, so I can simply delete them as irrelevant ones. But the only way to remove them is to contact the support. Those skills are just not among ones you can edit.

According to Reddit reports and Google Trends, Facebook disabled noticeable amount of accounts, including some artists and indie developers. It was done by an algorithm and not for a specific violation.

The support is non-existent and disputes never end up in favor of users, so these accounts are basically gone.

TeamSpeak is doing some OperaGX level of marketing here, celebrating the issues of Discord (their main competitor, as they think)!
