Part II – Archetype II “The Lurkers“

Last seen engaging in 2019. Still watching. Always watching.

You’ll never see them post. Never comment. Barely like.

But when you meet them in person, they’ll bring up something you posted six months ago with eerie specificity:

“That story you shared about leaving your job… that hit me.”

You’ll smile politely. And then realise you have no idea what they do for a living.

Lurkers treat LinkedIn like a wildlife documentary – observation without participation.

Signature moves:
Profile pic from 2016
Endorsed for “Teamwork” by someone who left the industry
Suspiciously high knowledge of platform drama

Self-test: Ever said “I saw your post” but hadn’t liked it? You’re one of them. Own it.
