Not directly related: I have a linkedin account, and once, I logged in and it recommended a connection which happened to be the guy who lives on my second floor. This guy was the roommate of the person who rents the second floor, I have never called, emailed, or texted this individual. He works in a completely unrelated business to me and we have no linkedin connections in common. No social media or any other sort of connections. I have no electronic connections with the other guy who lives in that apartment. I have a different mailing address. The only thing we have in common is that he sometimes hops on my wifi when his is on the fritz. LinkedIn insists they don't use ip addresses for connections. OK. This is incredibly hard for me to believe. I feel they pump their numbers with questionable tactics and people mostly use it because of fear. Fear that if they don't use it, their career will suffer. Which plays on a general unease that you could one day end up living in a ditch. So, imo, LinkedIn isn't absurd, it is sinister.
