- totetsu 3y agoyou can do this with just ublock cant you e.g. old.reddit.com##.self.link.gilded.even.linkflair-S.linkflair.id-t3_150q28y.thing:has-text(self.tifu)
- mattigames 3y agoYour solution requires manual entry, this is a right click away (most people rather not spend time fiddling with uBO), also that solution relays on css selectors not changing in the near future, this extension keeps working regardless.
- dublinben 3y agoI've come up with a filter rule that removes the enormous amount of promoted (aka spam) items from job listings page. linkedin.com##li:has-text(Promoted)
- mattigames 3y agoOn LinkedIn "Promoted" just means that they paid to get top position at the listing.
- shmde 3y agoConspiracy theory time: I have been applying to a lot of companies on LinkedIn. I noticed something strange. Many companies would have 30-40K followers but just 1-2 employees. They have tonnes of openings for a variety of roles. You can do the easy apply. I feel they are just harvesting your CV/Resumé and selling it.
- geraltofrivia 3y agoThats absolutely not a conspiracy theory. It’s a well known, very real phenomenon. To the point where FTC has warnings about similar things [1] [1] https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2023/05/scammers-are-hijacking-job-ads-heres-how-spot-fakes https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2023/05/scammers-ar...
- fakedang 3y agoI've seen something similar wrt founders and startup bros. It's kinda funny when some seed/Series A/B startup founder has like 30-40k followers. Meanwhile, even behemoths like Joel Spolsky and Michael Seibel have "only" 5-15k followers.
- DanielHB 3y agoMain problem in Linkedin is recruiters approaching you without telling the company name and specific position within the company. Like why would I even bother responding if I can't lookup anything about the company? Trust me, I have a vested interest in applying through the recruiter because I know the recruiter will poke the company when I need him to. So I won't just apply to the company behind your back, but don't waste my time please.
- floydian10 3y agoI would be fine with it if there was at least a salary range included in the message. But 90% of the time there isn't one
- anttiharju 3y agoI was once on a call with a recruiter - the company seemed interesting - asking what positions they are looking people for, only to be met with question what can I do. I mentioned software development and some project management things, but we kind of ended up talking in loops. It was difficult to tell what I can do when they didn't seem to know what they were looking for or had available. it was a weird experience
- CommanderData 3y agoThere's a notorious job agency in London that spams users inboxes in what I suspect is attempt with fake jobs in order to collect CVs. I don't think this is exclusive this particular agency but still pretty rare. With the advent of GDPR it's a sketchy way of getting around rention laws or advertising for months to do more of the same. LinkedIn needs a 'block this agency/company' feature but I think that would impact it's bottom line.
- Ldorigo 3y agoCan you name the agency so I know of I was harvested?
- doublewale 3y agoAssuming this manipulates the DOM, won't it mess with pagination?
- mattigames 3y agoIt adds "display: none" so it doesn't delete DOM nodes so its not likely to mess with pagination, but of course JavaScript can do anything (e.g. measure the rendered height) so it's possible that it messes with some layouts; I remembered trying it on facebook and it went awry, I had to undo it (in the options page of the extension you can see the full list of your filters and just hit "delete" on one)
- mikenull 3y agoLinkedIn search has a "NOT" operator. For example "software engineer NOT Affirm NOT Dice NOT Jobot"
- mattigames 3y agoYou would have to enter it every single time you search, so not my cup of tea.
