LinkedIn should punish the “comment X to get access” bait spam

A critique of the 'comment X to get access' engagement-bait pattern spreading across LinkedIn and other social platforms. The tactic asks users to comment a specific word to receive a resource via DM, artificially inflating engagement metrics. The author argues this benefits nobody: commenters look foolish, posters still have to manually send DMs, platforms get noise instead of content, and readers can't find meaningful discussion. LinkedIn is called out for rewarding interaction quantity over quality, and the author urges the platform to penalize rather than promote such posts.
