Toby, Dan, and Chmiel examine LinkedIn’s strange grip on our professional lives. What starts as a confession, Toby admitting to opening the app 30 times a day, turns into a bigger question: is LinkedIn a tool, a feed, or just another dopamine trap? Together, they unpack why the platform feels indispensable yet indistinguishable from TikTok or Instagram, and what that says about the state of “professional” culture online.

Details in the Show:

• Why LinkedIn use feels more like compulsion than utility
• The collapsing distinction between LinkedIn, TikTok, and Instagram feeds
• Dan’s take on why “professional content” isn’t as unique as it once was
• How the platform serves as both a temperature check and a time sink
• Whether compulsive usage equals value or just digital junk food
• What LinkedIn’s stickiness reveals about the broader internet economy of attention
