Discussion: What do you think of humblebraggers on LinkedIn

While mainly using LinkedIn for its excellent job search feature, I often find myself looking at the home page which is almost exclusively full of humblebrag posts these days (along with Oleg posts). Although I would like to claim these posts do not affect me, I do feel a subconscious twang inside when I read these humblebragging posts (more so currently, with graduation season upon us and so many graduates wanting to highlight their tear jerking rags-to-riches Ivy League graduation story). The fact that almost all of them follow the template of thanking something other than themselves and then moving on to shower themselves with praise and highlight their achievements is so pathetic in my opinion. They make it seem that the thanking part is the primary goal and use it as a cover in case someone calls them on their boastfulness. It is almost like LinkedIn has given an outlet to people to brag their accomplishments freely without fear of backlash (or trolling) which often ensues on other social media platforms. And the funny thing is that people with real accomplishments never post on LinkedIn. What do you guys think? Do these posts annoy you as well? Do these people genuinely believe sharing their accomplishments with their followers will help them or their audience or is it just an ego thing?
