Let’s face it; social media does have its disadvantages without any doubt. For those who are not in the best of moods, they will throw it out of the window. Social media does have its perks, but it also has its own nasty side.
Its nasty side is equivalent to its flaws. Such can really annoy sane and sensible human beings. They have thus proved to be the problem that often meets a drastic and aggressive solution.
The infinite money theorem states that monkeys hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will at some point produce the complete works of William Shakespeare. However, when it comes to social media becoming a nuisance, the monkey theorem will thus be overturned.
When does LinkedIn come in handy?
LinkedIn often works when it comes to making professional connections, providing job updates and updating the professional profile. It comes in handy for improving career prospects and has proved to be quite useful
Today, it is now the Facebook of the business world. Apart from personal things, a lot of content shared on LinkedIn today is moving to a new level of cringe worthiness. The comments, images and shares on LinkedIn can be right in theory, but in truth they are not appropriate at all.

- Self-appointed gurus.
- That joyous downsizer.
- The ones who boast about practicing good ethics.
- The friendly but annoying advisors.
- An unwanted flirt.
- Pesky recruiters (headhunters).
