I will not promote, My friends said there are many founders they tell sad story of their life/child hood on Linkedin and they get good engagement. Should my friends do that?

You know the type of post: "My family abused me, we had no money, everyone doubted me, but I kept pushing forward..." Then it turns into a story about how they built a company, raised funding, or became successful. Personally, I'm not sure how I feel about it. On one hand, sharing your struggles can inspire people. On the other hand, it sometimes feels like personal trauma is being turned into a marketing strategy. submitted by /u/lune-soft [link] [comments]
