I go to LinkedIn to find work.
My real name is there. My picture is there. My career history is there.
There are many places on the Internet where I can anonymously post inflammatory opinions without endangering my job, my career, or my reputation in my field.
I kind of feel like that is the situation on for everyone else on LinkedIn too.
So... why do some people post inflammatory opinions about politics and other non-career related subjects on that site?
All risk and for zero gain.

I don’t think it’s just social media that is making us so unhappy these days. Even texting has lost its power to communicate and connect us.
My parents lost one of their best friends to old age yesterday and none of us can seem to find the right thing to say. It’s all just near misses and misinterpretation of intentions.
When texting first started a generation ago, it seemed a miraculous way to share all kinds of details we never could before. But now it only seems to emphasize what we won’t ever understand about each other.
The bloom is off the rose and our screens no longer seem to make us happy the way they used to.

Youtube has become rather broken of late. The nagware popup complaining about my ad blocker can no longer be removed. I don't want ads and I certainly aren't going to pay. So far, I download the videos via Jdownloader. Is there a less bothersome way? How do you go about it?
