So... people actually use linkedin? I was under the assumption, after years and years of emails from linkedin, that it's really just a crowd-sourced spam generator. Is that not the case? mind.blown(<really big number>)
- mindcrime 13y agoUm, yeah... LinkedIn is an amazingly useful tool in many ways. Yes, being on there can result in the occasional incoming spam message, but a lot of us find the value far outweighs that minor detriment.
- Anderkent 13y agoOccasional spam message? I have yet to get a linked-in notification that's not spam. "Hi, I noticed you ask to connect to people who you've worked with before, but I'm a recruiter so I don't give a shit."
- mindcrime 13y agoI don't know what to tell you. All I can say is that for me, the benefits outweigh the negatives. But then again, maybe I care less about spam than a lot of people, as I lean pretty heavily towards the "no big deal, it's easy enough to ignore" worldview. Or maybe it's just normalized pain, who knows? I just know I wouldn't quit LinkedIn over spam messages, at least not as things stand today. shrug
