This isn&#x27;t a bad article, but it&#x27;s extremely one-sided, from the POV of tech employees, which are still the vast minority of workers.  Yes, it&#x27;s spammy and yes, they use dark patterns, and yes, there should have been some better ethical governance since the beginning, but it&#x27;s not as bad at what it aims to do as a lot of people believe.  Even if you just consider it a business card holder -- there&#x27;s actual value there.  Add in facilities to empower connections between people who don&#x27;t know each other, or who only share connections, and it&#x27;s pretty powerful.  I think they can successfully navigate through this critical spot and emerge much stronger on the other side.  They just need to refocus on what the core value propositions are.
