What exactly does engagement achieve on LinkedIn?
If someone says networking I'm gonna throw up. These are not the people I want in my network.
Pssst I'm on your WiFi👻
Yeah, I don't see how this post would be good for networking. This is the not the kind of person you want to work with.
I use LinkedIn fire the sole purpose of promoting my research and the FOSS projects I work on, with the hope that if the right people see it, it can help what I do make a positive impact.
In that case, high engagement means more people see my stuff, which means a higher likelihood of the right people seeing it.
However, I'm sharing stuff that I actually hope is useful to someone out there. For people just circlejerking it's just for the ego boost.
