@Rob indeed, that's edit spam. As I said, worthy of edit ban, permanent.

Luckily somehow it was rejected, which is pleasant surprise.

I stopped reviewing on SO because such edits were usually accepted by users who got 2k rep with 0 idea what suggested edits are, so they approved anything.

@rene well, SE depends on such users, if everyone would find solutions themselves, Q&A sites would pretty much be useless. :D

@JourneymanGeek why? What's more annoying than all others?

@ShadowTheKidWizard new unregistered accounts so we can't add it to the backlog, and no actual practical gain since there's no actual link

A: Why was the "Companies" option moved to the "PUBLIC" section in the left navigation bar since April 1, 2022?

The change was made because the functionality of Stack Overflow Jobs and Developer Story was removed or in the company's terminology sunsetted. This includes all job listings, saved searches, applications, messages, recommended job matches, job ads, developer story, saved resumes, and the salary...

I've been pondering this

the "companies" link is really 'reach and relevance'

but I feel like all they doing being company bios seems... strange

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek oh. Fair.

@JourneymanGeek pure business. They must put it somewhere visible, though I'm still not sure what's the difference between "Jobs" and "Companies" and how come closing one didn't affect the other.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard I vaguely recall asking about reach and relevance in the past

and getting a super vague answer

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek from staff?
