That's true. A lot of people using it are not influencers though, and while I don't expect there to be a real transition for this use case, it's clear that for newer generations things are going to be less monolithic in terms of the job market.

Also in terms of social media.

Wouldn't you agree?

I don't really feel that it's monolithic right now. Your perspective might be skewed because of the field you work in.

Also true.

Is there anything you see that is changing or that should though?

Asking since I imagine you may have your own perspective on this.

That's a great point, but isn't the arguement to make that information employee owned, so no real connection with companies and GDPR?

Employee owned ⇒ every person gets their own blockchain that they then can falsify at will, or there’s a single blockchain with items that are encrypted in a way that doesn’t even allow third parties to find out about whom each item is, and also allows individuals to selectively open up each of their individual items (otherwise, it isn’t fully “employee owned”.

The chain likely wouldn’t be more than “an item with secure hash Foo exists. Here it is, encrypted using whatever method its owner deemed acceptable at the time (maybe not even the latter. If I own the data, I should be able to improve its encryption, or remove it altogether)

That has some value; employees wouldn’t be able to retroactively insert stuff, but that’s about it.

That's true.

Do you see there being any alternative option (not sure if Berner's Lee Solid can play a part here)?

A company called Velocity Labs has done a private blockchain where third parties issue credentials on a 'Career Wallet', but it's more on verification of employment, courses and such.

If you think about it, current solutions (including Linkedin's recommendations) are the same thing, just centralized.

There must be a way to change that.
