If they really are "spamming random strangers", then sure. And that seems to be most of the contact I get via LinkedIn. But I did have one cold contact from a pretty legit recruiter that ended up turning into a pretty legit job.

Mostly I barely even read the recruiter messages; this one just happened to catch me on a rare day when I'm open to switching jobs.
