One reason you receive incessant messages from lead generation services is that there are seemingly uncountable numbers of lead generation agencies with processes and automations that allow them to send nearly infinite pitches. AI will make it worse by raising the potential supply to another level of near infinity while lowering demand to near zero.
LinkedIn users are fish in a barrel for these lazy tactics. If you’re not being stabbed by the constant spears of lead generators, you’re being snagged and dragged by the hooks of people trying to catch your engagement.
The results? Attention pollution, bloody water, and decaying material. It’s all choking off the oxygen for remaining fish to survive.
It wouldn’t take all that much to restore the ecosystem of this pond that we’re in. But just us fish don’t have the impact to make our pond breathable again. Regardless, I don’t particularly see more systemic repair likely to happen.
