We’re used to LinkedIn posts that are supposed to be inspiring, but ultimately ridiculous. A site uses an algorithm to generate it, you only have a few boxes to fill in.
The professional social network LinkedIn has acquired a strange reputation since its creation. If having a profile on the platform is gradually becoming a kind of obligatory passage (700 million people are registered there), it is not necessarily appreciated by all. LinkedIn is even mocked.
In question, posts published in the first degree, where bosses deliver a caricatural speech of the “startup” type, providing sometimes absurd advice valuing work as the keystone of your whole life. We then find hollow quotations that are not so far from the good old “ if you aim for the moon, you might reach for the stars “. Some of these posts have turned into memes and parody accounts are legion – like the fake account Bertrand Chanderlin, writing for example ” because benevolence rhymes with performance “.
From now on, Internet users are having fun with a site called Viral Post Generator, created on August 15, 2022. The site uses an algorithm that allows you to write ” the perfect LinkedIn message “. Although everything is in English so far (fingers crossed for a French version), it can give you a few minutes of fun.
Aim for the moon in the open space
The site allows you to customize three options. First you need to fill in what you did today (preferably something nonsensical that shows you’re the perfect startup employee), then fill in an inspirational quote brimming with depth and philosophy about the meaning of life and the rest, and finally specify the level of cringe – of embarrassment — from the final post.
You can even add a specific name and profile picture. Then, all that remains is to generate the publication.
And, don’t forget that a rolling stone gathers no moss, a decisive lesson for the rest of your professional career, as LinkedIn teaches us.
