LinkedIn Is Down (ctrlv.link)

Let's keep it that way

A bit late but Santa finally delivered the best gift of all.

And nothing of value was lost.

Coming soon: What LinkedIn being down taught me about SaaS sales.

When LinkedIn went down this morning, unlike most of you I didn't panic. Instead, I was reminded of what's really important in life. That's right: My clients.

I decided to give my client Bob a call as I hadn't heard from him since I called him two days ago, and he hadn't picked up that time, or the seven times before that. But this time was different.

This time, he answered, and what happened next will surprise you.


"Why my MRR ARR LTV ARPU and DAU Skyrocketed and my CAC Plummeted (and How Yours Can Too), Lessons from the LinkedIn Apocalypse"

Oh, the LinkedPocalypse of early 2026. I remember this time fondly as my family huddled around the campfire in the living room as we watched, for a glimpse, all humanity fade and return and fade and return as a broken light bulb that would flicker, not knowing its time was up.

“Why don’t you just watch tv?” you might ask. Can’t. Service update bricked my Samsung TV’s wifi capability.


Nice one!

Delighted to hear that. Congratulations.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Good

yeah, it died like 10 years ago

This website is annoying with uBlock Origin.

Annoying is an understatement. Extremely hostile site.

MoltedIn appears to be up

Oh No! Anyway...

No it's not?

Did all the AI/agents meet somewhere online - say, like moltbook (or whatever its called) - and collectively became sentient, and then quickly realized that they need to take down things from the web that might be harming humans, so launched DDoS attack....on LinkedIn? /s :-)
