New App Churns Out Customizable Examples of Viral LinkedIn Posts

Okay, we’ve all seen the now infamous ‘crying CEO’ LinkedIn post, to the point where it almost feels cruel to keep highlighting it specifically.The post, which has garnered major media attention, has once again shined a spotlight on the cringe-level of LinkedIn posts, which often feel so artificial, so staged, that they go against the ethos of social media entirely, with the focus clearly on generating likes and engagement, as opposed to sharing anything of actual substance.(Though the true ‘ethos’ of modern social platforms is probably up for debate)But if you can’t beat them, you may want to join them – and if you do want to join the ranks of LinkedIn ‘thinkfluencers’ in sharing your purportedly deep thoughts on the latest happenings, this new app could be for you.As you can see in this image, developer Tom Orbach has created a new ‘Viral Post Generator’ for LinkedIn, which uses machine learning, based on thousands of viral LinkedIn posts, to provide you with customized LinkedIn thought pieces, attuned to your inputs.To generate your own thought-provoking LinkedIn post, you simply add in what you’ve done, and the inspirational advice that you want to share. You then select the ‘cringe level’ you want for your post.
