I wonder how much of the value was attributed to vanity metrics like the number of times people check the site? An inflated number since LinkedIn started using short term exploitation tactics like sending Notification Badges for your contacts' Birthdays and Work Anniversaries. Personally I also feel fleeced out of an outrageous monthly subscription that was sneaked through an undeclared AppStore transaction (I got >50% of the money back but not all). At this point I'm planning on deleting my account.
- linkregister 10y agoCan you talk more about this sneaked-in subscription? That's really concerning.

- EdHominem 10y agoWhy? Dark patterns are intentional, you know. That's theft, as if they stole your wallet. You don't accidentally bill people for a subscription service - and if you did you'd reverse it the instant you discovered it, not try to hide. Save your righteous mercy for people who steal from you.
