In some ways, the point of LinkedIn is obvious.

It's not like Instagram, where you're supposed to look cool.

It's not like Twitter, where you're supposed to be funny.

And it's not like Facebook, where you're supposed to discover that Harry Styles is a government psyop to turn our kids gay.

LinkedIn, however, is where you go to network.

It should be pretty straightforward.

So why the hell is it so weird?

I'm outside the New York offices of LinkedIn, The preeminent career platform where people go for job listings, resume building, and toxic thought leadership.

How microdosing helps me relate to the women in our office.

What Andrew Tate can teach us about team...

At what age should your child start dropshipping?

It's earlier than you think.

Let me explain.

LinkedIn is far and away the most well -known site for hiring.

Meanwhile, as a social network, its most successful users employ a very...

Specific tone.

LinkedIn is mega cringe.

Cringe.

I feel like there's like two sides to LinkedIn.

On one side there is the like digital resume, it's a place where you go to maybe find your next job.

And then there's the other side of it which is more of a social network.

Rachel Cardin is a social media consultant and author of the Lincoln Bio newsletter.

And she had a pretty simple explanation as to why every viral LinkedIn post sounds like Tony Robbins Notes app.

The LinkedIn algorithm is a lot to blame for that sort of personality.

You know, celebrating the wins or highlighting a really engaging, you know, post that you did on social media and talking about it and bragging about it.

The algorithm likes that content and so it feeds more of it.

Which is how you end up with posts like this CEO crying after laying people off.

Or this guy asking for a special place on the train for networking.

Or this guy talking about how he wants to work even after he's won the lottery.

Or this guy saying there's not a cost -of -living crisis, but a not -knowing -how -to -make -money crisis.

So why in the hell would anyone want to go viral in this sea of cringe?

You know, it's so important today for C -level executives to have a presence on LinkedIn, right?

It's the world's biggest networking platform.

Julie Livingston is a public relations strategist, host of the PR Pattern podcast, and LinkedIn ghostwriter.

I think LinkedIn is very different than Facebook or Instagram or Twitter because somehow we take it more seriously.

And again, I think that's because it was initiated.

It was started as a business networking platform.

Julie has built a career off of helping people grow their LinkedIn profiles.

And she described to us the most effective way to communicate on the platform.

It sounds like the person is speaking to you.

Really?

It sounds like their voice, like they're just having a conversation like you and I are having right now.

Sure, but some would disagree.

LinkedIn is where good content goes to die.

It's the anti -social network where everybody has to be there, nobody wants to be there, and everybody has to post stuff that they don't really want to post there.

And then a few people post stuff that they know will get engagement there.

Jack Raines is a writer, business school student, and author of numerous viral LinkedIn posts that parody its cringe voice.

I'm a curator of vibes.

I live and die by my ability to post on the internet.

And yeah, so I guess I'm a professional LinkedIn non -influencer.

And what kind of quality content does a LinkedIn non -influencer put out?

It was like a personal finance hack on how to save money living in New York City.

So I said that every day I go to a different hotel in Manhattan

and I go eat their continental breakfast and then I sign off on some random room number.

I don't actually do this, but I wrote on LinkedIn like I did.

Post it, go to sleep, wake up the next day, over a million views.

It went viral.

Jack's parody posts point out an underlying truth about LinkedIn thought leadership.

Authenticity matters a lot less than being good at writing the specific type of posts that the algorithm is horny for.

I feel like it exists in such an odd place because of the very obvious acting that happens on there.

LinkedIn is a platform that's maybe even meant to be your most authentic self, and it feels like people are putting on a performance more than any other platform.

So if this is the state of LinkedIn now, where is it headed?

I mean, I think it's going to continue to grow in importance as, you know, we've become a global economy, right?

I mean, so I think it's going to continue to grow.

I don't think the algorithm will ever favor just like normal sort of storytelling.

And so I think we'll see more people emulate the Adam Grants of the world

and talk like they're experts and that's usually how it all starts it's like

if you talk like you are a thought leader then you

are a thought leader i think linkedin has the like it has the best longevity out of all of them

because it literally won't die everybody on instagram could eventually go to tick tock

or to another like photo video sharing app twitter could die

because there could be another better version of twitter but with linkedin

because it's so entrenched with like the professional job network side of it i do think

that you're starting to see more and more people post regular content on linkedin so

while linkedin is the worst social media side now it has

the most potential to be like the biggest one for both the social platform

and professional but it's not there yet

so get ready working world much like dj collett

and chlamydia linkedin isn't going away anytime soon and if the future of social media doesn't look like TikToks, reels, tweets, or YouTube shorts, at least it's something I'm familiar with.

Cringe.

From this conversation, do you think I have what it takes to be a thought leader?

You know, Dan, I have to say I've been so incredibly impressed by you and the way you address this whole topic.

I think you do have what it takes.

Julie, thank you.

Thank you for saying that.

I'll pay you the $15 I promised you for saying that later.

FOR YOU

本片段的口語練習目標

本影片對話聚焦於日常討論中的觀點表達與邏輯闡述，適合提升雅思口語練習中“描述現象並分析原因”的能力。通過模仿說話者對LinkedIn的吐槽、專家觀點的引用及案例列舉，學習者可掌握如何清晰構建論證結構，同時增強在非正式討論中使用幽默與諷刺語氣的流暢度，這對口語考試中的“雙向討論”部分尤為關鍵。

實用表達庫

“far and away the most well-known”：絕對最知名的
“toxic thought leadership”：有毒的思想領導力（諷刺表達）
“feeds more of it”：推送更多類似內容
“built a career off of”：憑藉……建立事業
“curator of vibes”：氛圍營造者（網路流行語）

突破口語弱點

影片中大量使用連讀與弱讀，如“it's not like”連讀為/ɪts nɑːt laɪk/、“sort of”弱讀為/sɔːrt əv/，是練習shadow speech的優質素材。學習者可通過shadowing site反覆模仿，糾正“逐詞發音”的生硬問題，掌握自然語流。此外，對話中諷刺語氣的起伏（如“cringe”的重複強調）需注意語調變化，這對提升英語口語練習中的情感表達能力至關重要。建議結合shadowspeaks技巧，先逐句跟讀，再整段複述，逐步強化節奏與語氣的把控。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	has built · we've become · I've been
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	was initiated · was started

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
