About this listen
LinkedIn was supposed to make professional networking easier. So why does it now feel harder than ever to actually reach anyone?
In this episode, Jeph and Shingi explore The LinkedIn Effect how a platform that once felt like an obvious breakthrough slowly turned into something we all rely on but rarely enjoy. From the early promise of frictionless professional connections to the reality of ghosting, performative posts, and expensive premium tiers, this is a behavioral deep dive into what happens when networks scale beyond meaning.
Blending psychology, technology history, and cultural insight, the episode asks a simple question with an uncomfortable answer: when does a useful product stop feeling useful — and what keeps it alive anyway?
A witty, reflective look at the professional network we can’t quite quit.
