I'm kind of becoming tired of the argument that a service is bothersome with the amount of emails it's sending if there are ways to disable the emails. When I was seeking employment, I was getting multiple emails a day from the service, many of which were helpful (Alumni network postings, messages, connections). However, once I took an offer (One I happened to be recruited for on LinkedIn), I disabled all of those emails coming through. I still check the site fairly frequently but can still just use it for the way I like to use it, to keep a record of my professional journey.
- law 14y agoThat's not the problem. The problem is that the e-mails, by their very nature, are opt-out rather than opt-in. One reason people seem to complain is because they have to waste time logging into the site, finding the e-mail opt-out section, and disabling whatever "service" is responsible for the torrent of spam. And that only works until the site's next "user experience" update.
