The platform everyone hates is doing away with a feature no one wanted.
LinkedIn announced Tuesday that, as of the end of September, LinkedIn Stories will be no more. The format, initially made popular by Snapchat before being shameless copied by Facebook’s Instagram, involves short video segments that typically disappear from users’ profiles after 24 hours.
While LinkedIn officially launched Stories only last year, the company began testing the feature as early as 2018 in the form of “Student Voices.” Later, in 2020, the company said it was testing Stories internally.
