Believe I also turned off all “promo” emails and communications of any sort in the settings while i did have linkedin… thinking about just straight up deleting it now instead of leaving the profile deactivated.

    I’m not sure about the LinkedIn’s situation in other countries but, in the country I live in, except for those jobs who have the “Easy Apply”, most of the jobs from LinkedIn redirect LinkedIn’s users to third-party platforms (such as “Gupy”, a HR platform used by many brazilian corps). For every single job one wishes to apply, Gupy will require them to fill all their information again and again. It’s infuriating for those who’re seeking a job…

    The “Easy Apply” also doesn’t really help. Several jobs aren’t jobs at all, but designed to fill HR’s “talent pools”. Not to mention the AI-based filtering that HRs are using to select candidates based on “secret keywords”, without previous interviewing of such candidate. “Human” resources, as they call themselves. LinkedIn is just an echo chamber for such HRs.

    Lastly, I also deactivated my LinkedIn profile (“Hibernated” it), yet I keep receiving those emails (“Your account is still hibernating”)…
