Yeah, I figured some might have assumed it was some scam/MLM shit. But the point is that she "found me" via a live lecture where we were chatting in the sidebar. So she had to be an enrolled student for that to be possible...

It's still vaguely catfish-adjacent, but she is at least consistent, across all her communications...

I think she's just a bit weird, and has weird ideas about things (including how to use LinkedIn). And is either lying about her background (and thinks she is a better liar than she is), or has had a really weird career path, and like a mid-life crisis...

And that's coming from me, lol...

I don't know. She's just a bit too "mysterious" to bother with any further, I feel... Strong, strong vibes of bullshittery.

But yeah, I agree with you, actually. I fucking hate it, but it is almost obligatory, as a student, now, so... I still have mine. I just don't use it like she does...
