That's what the ideology of the "personal brand" is all about, anon: the reduction of the self into a packaged, marketed, and commodified product. The negation of your own nature. It's a non-physical form of suicide, really.

The idea of taking pictures of your yourself with one of the artificial expressions is pathological enough, but what really fucks me up is that people take pictures of their food before eating it.
You sit down at a restaurant, say, you order, they bring you the food, then you take out your phone, make a picture of the food, and upload it to Instagram, where 100M pictures of food already exist. Back in the day, they said that posting on /b/ was like pissing into an ocean of piss; if we run with that, then posting a picture of food is like farting into an interstellar cloud of methane.

If I had to guess, it's a sort of... compensatory reality-construction. Your actual reality, what you see, hear, experience yourself, is not enough and it only becomes "real" if you upload it somewhere. It's almost as if they think that the eating of food is not "real enough", because reality is on Instagram. But that's just my guess, it's almost impossible to figure out what sort of profound mental derangement produces this.

I have often pondered this and at the end of the day the only real reason they keep it and put so much effort into it is because other people say they should. My sister and cousin both shilled linkedin to me but I don't need it, I just use a regular application like a normal person. I also have found that people use verbose definitions of what their jobs are. It's literally stuff like "We continuously work to improve safety initiatives and promote continued success in our markets" when they're just a basic middle manager.

The social pariah effect of not being on social media is extraordinary. Do not fall for the common 4chan copes. The men trying to convince you that you'll be a mysterious stoic alpha male if you abstain often suffer from bouts of depression and loneliness in between posting about how smart they are for not liking 'gay normie shit' that 'only shallow people care about'.

EVERYONE is influenced by social media. Why do you think it is a global phenomena with billions of users from every country on the planet?
Do you think someone handsome with 30k followers is going to spend hours coping on how unfair the social dynamics of social media are? No, the cute girl you have a crush on just liked his vacation selfie. Generally speaking, if you have no presence or a shitty profile, people are going to come to the conclusion that you're lower status and that you have something to hide. Paradoxically, even the crabs trying to convince you that they are Marcus Aurelius II for not posting pictures online are also influenced by follower counts. Everyone, even the normalfags, like to pretend it doesn't matter when prompted, when it clearly matters a lot.

Anecdotal experiences about how 'I have a gf and don't have social media' are the exception. Of course, rationally speaking, you don't NEED to do anything since social status is so fluid and context dependent, but you're really shooting yourself in the foot for no reason. Never in the history of this species has it been easier to take control of your personal image, present yourself as attractive and high status in any context you choose, and to reach and be available to as many people as possible

If the thought of posting on social media terrifies you, that means you're aware that you're unattractive and have a boring life. If you think it is 'effort' to use social media to your advantage, that's a sign. You should fix that, pronto.

LinkedIn is a requirement for any white collar (tm) worker. Corporations pay a lot of money for access to your online resume so they can poach you. That's all LinkedIn is, an online resume database. Better than emailing and uploading resumes or dare I say, printing out copies and handing them to people like a boomer stuck out of time (lmao). You don't have to post anything outside your work history (which you can completely embellish, edit, and otherwise outright fabricate). Only boomer CEOs angry about some shit or another and diehard nu gen Z degenerates actually post shit that should stay in FB. I've had LinkedIn for 5+ years and have posted exactly zero comments. Ignore all that because the only thing that matters are the DMs from the hundreds of recruiters combing the site for their next number.

I'm taking the extra step and getting an unlisted phone number soon. Feels fucking great to not have to worry about accounts getting hacked or getting canceled for being too based or HR asking faggot questions for their faggot jobs. I'm not even a shitbird and the most illegal thing I do is smoke a joint occasionally, and I can pass a real-deal holyfield background check too. Anyone using social media to any serious degree is retarded, the lone and only caveat might be a facebook account to talk to family and friends but only if it's locked down tighter than fort knox for privacy settings and you're spending maybe an hour or two a week there. Yes, I do have TikTok blocked at the router level, and my entire home connection is firewalled too. I will not eat the bugs. I will not be a cog in the machine. I will be a good and happy citizen of this country and pay my taxes, I will stay married, I will have more children, and I will continue to vote republican in every election till the day I die.

Yes, this is exactly why Microsoft is clever as fuck, they’re good at finding services you absolutely need to have as a white collar professional (corporate IT, resumes, code repositories) and then dominating them
Meta, Twitter, TikTok, etc. are ridiculously easy to quit, just do a 360 and walk away, you don’t even notice the dopamine cravings after two days
It’s not easy, but you can walk away from Google because their services are ultimately all shit tied to your personal life which you can change, unless you’re one of those 5 weirdos that actually uses GCP or Google Office
You cannot reasonably walk away from Microsoft if you are a white collar professional without setting your professional life on fire, at best you can mitigate them by restricting where you access them but even then they’re still collecting data linked to your identity

I never understood it. I’ve only went as far as indeed and if I feel the need to look for a new job I just belt feed it and shoot it to everything on the jobs feed and within a day or so I already have at least two hits. And honestly just walking into a random place that fits your skills and wanting to speak to someone face to face can go a long way separating you from the ocean of online applications.

worth it if you have niche, high value (usually tech) skills. mine is 2+ years out of date and I get messaged by headhunters constantly, throwing out comp numbers trying to get me interested. makes searching for a new job if/when you want one very easy

So, I got invited to a "casual conversation" at another firm next week by phone. Said I had left a good impression on her during a couple of meetings we've had over the last 8 months.
It's allotted one hour and even has 15 minutes for presenting my CV and 20 minutes for interview questions "to get better acquainted". The prospects looks good, but I don't have time for 3 rounds of interviews if they try to pull that shit.

If they are calling what is obviously an interview a “casual conversation” then for sure they’re going to make you jump through hoops. If you really want it, you probably have to play along but if it’s more casual interest for you tell them to fish or cut bait imo.

I will never make a linkedin profile. This corporate shit disgusts me. Especially NPCs who don't just kinda use it as their CV but as a legit social network and share some retarded articles about productivity etc. HR was so fucking puzzled that they couldn't find me on linkedin or any other social media when I applied for a codemonkey job. Didn't matter to them tho

Or it's just a way for employers to scout for talent and for employees to potentially receive job offers. I don't use it because my life strategy isn't to be a job-hopping permawagie, but if it was I don't think it's as dehumanising as you say it is.

There is some truth to what you're saying, namely the fact that not being on social media doesn't make you cool and "mysterious", but in fact might make people unsure about you. But ultimately I don't care about impressing NPCs so it doesn't really matter to me.

This is the “deepest” random collection of pseudo-intellectual bullshit that I’ve read on this website lately and I browse /x/, well done
You were an absolute normie faggot all along if having a personal brand negates your self, because that means your self was just a divisible unit of labor, and saying nigger occasionally on a Tibetan fart fetish forum doesn’t change that

Tourist here

My linkedin barely has any relation with my social media because I shitpost so much

Basically I have a anon fb for edgy stuff, a family friendly fb for family, a regular twitter, a porn twitter (undisclosed to anyone) and my linkedin

I recently opened up a linkedin because I can link it to my company's internal info and that may help for potential promotions within the company.

I also think that for the long run may help organize my work history so potential employers or partners know what to expect from me.

Anon doesn't know the difference between "appearing to be attractive and high status" and actually being it. That's why the only people who are posting on social media are losers pretending to be what they're not.
