So I cancelled Spotify. My wrap told me I listened for four days in total lol. The app is completely unusable now.
When I cancelled my Google subscription, it was a similar experience.
So many people working there, all providing “more value” 🥴. Meanwhile, shit doesn’t work.

It’s pretty incredible how Meetup.com… killed meetups and communities.
Their pricing is unsustainable for non-US & free meetups. As an attendee who’s not paying, you can’t message people or see who is attending.
So everything is moving to closed WhatsApp groups, Slack, etc. Muh.

You know what would be really useful on LinkedIn? The ability to search for people who are… looking for work.
But yeah, that’s not really their core thing.
