I hope you all appreciate what I expose myself to in order to dredge up slop for you all. There’s no more radioactive quarter of the internet than whatever the hell LinkedIn News is.

    Can someone ELI5 why they do this?

    doomjak: “I’m poor.”

    porky-happy: “No you’re not! You’re rich, actually!”

    If it’s a pretext to raise prices, then porky knows in the back of his mind he’s only fooling himself. It feels like they’re only saying this in a taunting way to demoralize young people.

        I fucking hate Linkedin, I had to resist punching out my laptop in a crashout when it asked me, a broke unemployed loser that’s only ever been underemployed “are YOU hiring?”

        I swear, rich people literally just assume everyone else is rich.

          So many sites have these asinine questions like that. It’s possible that just came up for anyone, like they just try to increase engagement without any reasoning. Because it doesn’t hurt them if you say “no”, except making you not want to use the service anymore, but these people aren’t thinking long term and don’t care, quarterly earnings and all.
