LinkedIn is a complete joke, but also somewhat necessary. It's become the new resume. I personally maintain a parody of myself profile (check it out if you want: https://linkedin.com/in/brndnmtthws https://linkedin.com/in/brndnmtthws) but I'm considering deleting my account altogether because LinkedIn seems to only be used as a spam delivery mechanism these days.
- frik 9y agoHas Microsoft took LinkedIn over or is LinkedIn still a separate entity? Anyway the quality of the sites gets worse with each site update. Sometimes one has to hit F5 several times to see even the site. Reminds me of Friendster.

- kerouanton 9y ago"LinkedIn seems to only be used as a spam delivery mechanism these days." I created a dedicated email address for Linkedin. And yes, I do receive a lot of spam on this unique email address. For testing purposes, I regularly update this email address to a new one every 6 months, and spam begins to flow a few days after the address change. So I believe either LinkedIn resells email addresses, makes users emails public and easy to scrap, or regularly gets hacked.
