  Yes! Linkedin is also really pushy with this, but being honest once I got a job (they contacted me through linkedin) that boosted my salary 30% with linkedin, really helped me with my personal economy. Also you cannot not be on linkedin in my region because then you are not normal :( .. That being said, I have disabled all notifications on linkedin, but still they manage too be annoying when I'm added by someone who is selling me something (I don't mind the endless recruiters)..

    I don't install the LinkedIn mobile app and I disable all notification emails on my LinkedIn account. This works quite well to be honest. They can send a whole bunch of notifications (I see them every time I log in) but I'm not bothered by them. I do this because I agree with you that LinkedIn is still the most helpful tool for job hunting or recruiting, and I use it for such purposes. Other than that, I don't want it to notify me of anything.
