Comment on How would fedi fans feel about a paid LinkedIn alternative on the fediverse?

I see an alignment-problem:
IF it is paid by the job-seekers, who may be destitute, THEN the rich job-seekers distort the market in their favor.
ELSIF it is paid by the job-posters, who definitely intend to underpay all whom they hire, then it has motivation to help misrepresent things.
Enshittification is inevitable, either-way.
I hold that the Fediverse NEEDS a LinkedIn replacement, the problem is that a healthy such replacement is in the Public interest, & therefore the Public ought be paying for it.
Which will never happen, in the lobbied-puppets “electorate” world.
It isn’t even a political question, left or right, it is a market-integrity question.
The greater the integrity of the employment-market, the stronger the country, obviously.
Therefore removing the job-board/job-market from ALL special-interest-groups/torquers/machiavellians can significantly benefit the country(ies) who impliment correctly, in the long-term/strategic scope.

Job-seeker/employer is only a drop in the ocean of what professional networking (and LinkedIn) is about. It’s a community of businesses that all help each other collaborate and build…a way to share ideas and make new connections…at least, I think that’s what everyone wants it to be.
