Bro boost: women find LinkedIn traffic ‘drives’ if they pretend to be men
Collective experiment found switching profile to ‘male’ and ‘bro-coding’ text led to big increase in reach, though site denies favouring posts by men
Do your LinkedIn followers consider you a “thought leader”? Do hordes of commenters applaud your tips on how to “scale” your startup? Do recruiters slide into your DMs to “explore potential synergies”?

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

Higher taxes on gambling probably would cost some jobs. But employment has to be weighed against other social costs.
That's why we don't have brothels and ketamine stores on every high street. It was a terrible mistake to let gambling shops become such big employers.
