I deleted my account a long time ago. It simply isn't useful to most people any more.
LinkedIn is
1) a target for recruiters with a spray and pray strategy
2) a crm/lead gen tool for sales people
The amount of spam (I work in email marketing tech, I know these emails work, but let's call a spade a spade) in my inbox went down considerably as a result.
- 0xmohit 10y agoOdd that the amount of spam reduced. I've seen instances where individuals weren't even able to delete their accounts. Sounds funny, but it goes like: (1) you delete your account, (2) you receive a message from LinkedIn, (3) you think that the account isn't deleted and login to delete. Voila, you nullified what you did in (1)! The following is true: https://twitter.com/darylginn/status/590664399041519617 https://twitter.com/darylginn/status/590664399041519617
- mkohlmyr 10y agoOh it was definitely a "process" deleting the account. But the sheer amount of emails they send is a travesty. I honestly can't believe they haven't hit the point of diminishing returns yet. I suppose because people view linked in as a must there are virtually no consequences for them. Unless people start deleting their accounts. I highly recommend it.
