I joined it early on not thinking much of it, accepting invites left, right and centre. And then all the recruitment agents began spamming the shit out of me because I was a link so it cost them nothing. If a job said Java and my resume said Java they'd spam me even if I'm on another continent.

So I unlinked the lot of them and my life is relatively peaceful. If agents want to talk to me they need to send me an InMail which costs a point in their subscription but I still ignore them just to waste their points. I hate the service and I hate agents. If I was ever interested in a job spec that some agent sent me then I'd figure out the company from the clues in the spec and approach them directly. Because fuck agents and fuck LinkedIn.
