Thank you for posting. I went through the rigmarole (again) of turning off all of their data hoarding, data selling, creepy analytics stuff. Again, mind you. I’ve done it before.

Ok. I'm gonna ask a question that sounds rhetorical and critical but I want you to know this is a genuine question.

Why are you using LinkedIn? What's the point? What possible service can it provide you?

Thank you for the pretext!

I was asked to make one while in college, and after college, used it alongside other platforms like Indeed, Monster, and my local state jobs board to find a job. Left it active because I don't use it for anything than reaching out to recruiters or answer them back. It has one use, and that is networking. People who use it as a social media are using it wrong, in my opinion, but to each their own!
