33 claps for the Darth Vader troll.

~10 years ago I was on a business trip with some clients. One of the up and coming client guys was super impressed that I was in the top 5% (or something like that) of influencers (or whatever they were called then) on LinkedIn.

All I was doing was posting comments on technical projects and areas of my expertise.

I realized multiple things:

1) I was getting no new business or even leads from my posts over several months;

2) It was spending a LOT of time posting;

3) I was getting attention from people who were not decision makers;

4) Being in the top 5% of influencers on LinkedIn and €3 will get you a good espresso.

I'm still on LinkedIn, but never post anything.
