Thank you! I agree that spam is a big issue for LinkedIn and also seemingly for its competitors like branded.me. Would spam reduction tactics, both from the company itself as well as from members/bots, be one of the key differentiators? I would like to believe that it would be possible to be successful in this market without spamming your users.

It would be a major perk. I closed my LinkedIn account because of the spam and dishonest tactics. I want to feel like the companies I work with want everyone to "win" not only them (i.e. their users derive value also). The bots are problematic, but unfortunately some of it is humans acting bot-like, meaning recruiters pasting in generic messages, so even captchas might be ineffective. But anything a LinkedIn competitor could do to drop the spam, contact harvesting, and bots would be a massive perk over LinkedIn actual.
