Let me know in the comments

Just like I recently grumbled that AI, in most cases, doesn’t really help with learning programming, today I’ll add that it also doesn’t help with social media content.

This mainly applies to Czech posts — those recycled phrases make me cringe way more than English ones. So the English translation here actually does it a disservice. But once I add multi-language support, it’ll be available in Czech too. It’s on todos.

I was thinking of writing an aggregator called linkedin-algo-hacking-drama-bitches, which would collect posts from LinkedIn that meet these criteria:

• opening with a phrase like:
  • “rozmáhá se nám tu takový nešvar…” followed by a moral lesson no one asked for (cz only in this case)
  • “when you…” followed by a deep analysis of absolutely nothing
  • “that moment when…” a story about how Marie decided to be kind to herself
  • “imagine…” followed by a dramatic story about how Rohlík saved the day at the very last second (cz version again)
  • one to three words per line
  • at least three emojis — ideally a rocket, fist bump, and clown
  • drama level 100%, content level 0%
  • ending with:
    • “and what about you?”
    • “let me know in the comments”

Social media rewards quantity, not so much quality. And people — men and women alike — are clawing their way through it.

Recently, I came across a post where people on LinkedIn were seriously discussing how often they shower. And in the middle of it all — absolute gems like Pepa, who subtly shared that he sometimes showers more than once a day, but for a different reason, wink wink. Yes, Pepa, you have sex. Congratulations.

And how about you? Let me know in the comments.
