Re: Once again
This is LinkedIn you're talking about here.
It started off as a neat thing to keep track of people you worked with or went to school with. Then it was monetized and now it's just a cattle market. You're the cattle to be poked, prodded and inspected by anyone who pays LinkedIn to look at your info. Job agents, sales people, you name it.
I'm plagued by job agents to the extent I've unlinked the lot of them and restricted my privacy settings as much as I can. They think nothing of doing a skill search and indiscriminately spamming everyone who matches. The same job might result in multiple spams, none of which I've solicited. At least by unlinking they have to use one of their precious InMails if they want to contact me.
