Linkedin is literally used a little by a lot of people.



At first I thought this was the perfect counter-example.

Maybe LinkedIn works because it’s used a lot by the small group that matters and pays – recruiters! I imagine they’re on LinkedIn all day long.


Paid LinkedIn Premium (which is what matters to founders and VCs) in contrast is used a lot by few people - headhunters, HR and PR people.
