LinkedIn pivots from ghost‑job listings to a dating‑app concept

LinkedIn has been criticized for hosting a large number of outdated or fake job postings. Observers have described the platform’s job board as a “mass grave of ghost jobs.” Recent discussions suggest repurposing the network for a new social function. Developers are experimenting with turning LinkedIn into a dating‑app style service. The idea aims to leverage LinkedIn’s professional connections for personal matchmaking. Proponents argue the shift could revive user engagement on the site. Critics warn that the core purpose of professional networking may be diluted. The concept remains in early stages, with future updates expected to clarify its direction.
