I don't really use LinkedIn that much, so this confuses me:
> And the membership fees for being invisible are ridiculously high now.
Do you mean simply having an account? Or are there now fees for, e.g. avoiding recruiters? I thought that the business model of LinkedIn had only companies/recruiters pay to reach (free) users.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoNo, having an account is free. But many features are behind a paywall now, like seeing who is visiting your profile. It used to be it was only not shown if you were browsing privately youself, but recently it changed and you can only see the first two. Also, as you say as a free user you can be reached by more people more easily and I hate that. Some of the high-level contacts I know are not findable at all by using the public search and I don't have this option. Especially lately I get a lot of spam from SAP related businesses even though I don't work with ERP systems nor have I ever done so. It's super annoying. If it was even remotely related to my work it would be much less so.

They employ some dark ux to make it less obvious, but it's there.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoOk fair enough, I will have a look again.. It is indeed all over the place, I went through it all once about a year and a half ago, so it could be some things have changed.
- LegitShady 6y agoThey have fees at both ends - if you want to recruit,if you want to see who is looking at your profile, etc.
