Wow. I dropped LinkedIn years ago. I'm glad I did.

Thanks, Kent. LinkedIn is looking more and more like Twitter. I used to connect with professional contacts there, but it’s looking more and more like Twitter. Half the posts I see are ads.

You’re so welcome, Flora. I put the word “training” in quotes in part because it may mean “selling.”

Thanks for mentioning this! I had no idea LinkedIn was doing this (though, I guess I shouldn't be surprised). Slag heap indeed.

I have never used LinkedIn nor had to, but this is an abominable decision by corporate so-called leaders. For a while now, my assumption has been that *every* website, including this one, wants to make money the old-fashioned, sleazy way by selling as much of me as they can.

I actively look for such buttons to click off in privacy options.
