> This is curious to me as I’m not sure the benefit from deleting. The way I looked at it when I deleted my account is that having LinkedIn means having another inbox that attracts a disproportionate amount of crap. It got to the point where I turned off notifications and treated my inbox like a spam folder. By deleting my profile, people who actually do have something to tell me aren't under the false impression that they can contact me on LinkedIn, and people that just want to spam me generally don't make the effort to track down my email (which I make pretty easy to do).
