At that point I think banning social media period is more healthy.
Because LinkedIn proves that guys aren't much better in terms of keeping it a useful and healthy thing when its catered to their interests.
Social media is this century's asbestos.
There's a reason why people cite Uncle Ted when talking about social media. The vast majority of humans cannot handle social circles greater than ~100 people, and cannot integrate technology into their lives in a logical way.
I'm on LinkedIn for three reasons: To make it easier to find work if I decide to move on, to have a pulse on what's going on in the industry, and to know who to avoid in the industry. I never post anything unless its to promote something I worked on.
The last reason is easy to fill because sooner or later someone always goes full redditor and writes a wall of text starting with "I can no longer stay silent over bad orange man shitting on everything. So here's what I need all of you and the whole rest of the world to do right now..."
There's also the occasional gem where a boomer CEO complains about how lazy people are and how hard it is to find good employees. Those are fun to read; especially when the comments section has a lot of posts.
There are plenty of valid uses for all the social medias. I use Facebook (my only one) to keep contact with my poor friends who can't afford a phone or simply very old school friends who I'd never text but am marginally interested in their life.
But there are many men who use LinkedIn as god and those connections as real major things. Its a huge part of "Hustle Culture" and guys whose entire existence is to use and abuse it to groom impressionable young men into being slimy douches whose life revolves around money for zero value ventures (that rarely work) and other nonsense.
Its like Discord for 20 something dudes with a lot of spunk but no sense.
Not even gonna challenge that
