Part III – Archetype II “The Ghosts (Inactive Profiles)”
“Current Position: ??? / Last Post: March 2017 / Still Breathing: Unconfirmed”

They once walked among us.
Then they disappeared – either swallowed by burnout, absorbed into a company that discourages LinkedIn use, or simply tired of the circus.

Their profile photo is from 2012. Their “About” section refers to “emerging tech” from 2009. They remain frozen in a digital Pompeii.

And yet… every now and then… they’ll view your profile. No likes. No comments. Just… presence.

Signature moves:
15 endorsements for “MS Office”
Still lists “Orkut” under interests
Ghosts with great intentions

Self-test: Ever opened LinkedIn only to stare blankly at the home screen and close the tab? You’ve ghosted, too.
