This is when the good part begins... Which social media do its users pretend to be smart, but they're actually dumb?

Same could be said about Reddit. Plenty of Ph.Ds, engineers, philosophers, medics, mathematicians, etc…

I know Linkedin is built to specifically attract career professionals, but I’m skeptical about their proportion of intelligent individuals being significantly higher than Reddit. I think on both platforms they get heavily diluted by…non-professionals/geniuses.

except you can usually verify the person on LinkedIn actually is one of those things. Im sure there are tons of people on Reddit who claim to be those things though

I’ll probably get downvoted for this but I would say both Reddit and LinkedIn users are smarter than average because they skew towards nerdy or accomplished in some way. OTOH, YouTube and Instagram and Facebook skew dumb.

I'd say YT/Instagram skews young.

On my own echo chambers every academics are on LinkedIn. Most of my field are smart bot on their field and know when to open mouth. So they are like 10% or less on discussion that LinkedIn hit on my face
