LinkedIn Larpmaxxing Criticized as Performative Professionalism
Original: LinkedIn Larpmaxxing
A new blog post coins the term 'LinkedIn larpmaxxing' to describe people who treat LinkedIn as a stage for exaggerated professional personas — humblebrags, fake hustle posts and résumé theatre disconnected from real work. The piece argues the platform rewards performance over substance, a criticism many readers share given the discussion it has sparked.
Why now: Frustration with performative, inauthentic behaviour on LinkedIn is a recurring topic that keeps resonating with professionals.
