It also, if you invest a little effort to produce an appealing profile, does a great deal to make up for weak face-to-face networking skills. The "LinkedIn, faugh, who needs it" attitude around here really doesn't do an introvert any favors, I think.
Why not host your own resume?

Adobe employs similar tactics. Even though I was paying per month for the Creative Suite, I was told that I was only able to cancel my subscription during a small timeframe each year. If I didn't take advantage of the opportunity at that time , I would have to fork out for the service each month for another full year. I couldn't preempt it by asking to have the subscription cancelled when the year was up - I had to n…
Any luck calling your credit card company or bank and disputing the charge? Credit card companies actually give the average consumer a lot of clout against shady business tactics like this so long as you have a good history with the card issuer.
2 months ago I signed up for a 30 day trial to search for people to hire and then 140 eu/mo if I decide to continue using it. Of course I forgot to stop it (they were pretty quiet also) and they charged me 1400+ eu for a full year because...why not - no refunds (that's what their page says). I know, I know...should have read the whole shebang. Lost 1400 euros for something I didn't really use. I was about to pay for…

Amazon is actually really good with this. I got a mail early January that I had just been signed up for a whole year of amazon prime, which I saw after my holidays 2 days into the 'subscription'.
I was instantly fuming and ready to rain down hell fire when I conveniently found a button to cancel. I could easily undo the whole thing from the site with no user interaction. They made it very clear the money would be refunded. Props to them.
LinkedIn is a weird, weird place. There's always people wanting to add me, but then they mostly don't introduce themselves. Even half of the recruiters who add me don't do an intro. How is that networking? The articles seem pretty low quality. Sorry to say it, but a lot of them seem to be written as a form of homework, as in "you should write something to be seen". There's rarely any insightful comments on news piece…
Can you expand more on Oleg? Checked out his page very briefly and seems rather normal.
It's always something like "I hired a guy nobody else wanted, and to everyone's surprise they worked hard and prospered."
Or "A guy made a bad mistake, but I didn't fire them because now I'd paid x millions for his education."

I love the points I get from my current cards, but what card is this actually? This sounds like a really killer card I’d use frequently for these use cases.
The service I was writing about is French: http://www.service-virtualis.com/virtualis/index.htm So unfortunately if you get points I'm guessing you're from North America and probably won't be able to apply. I haven't searched but there might be such services available to you in a nearer bank.

Already done. Sadly Linked In adheres to US law and not Dutch/EU consumer rights. I have no faith any US administration will ever do anything good for its citizens but keep fighting the fight.
Do they? If they do business in the EU they are within reach, are they not?
I always think about LinkedIn as a "light scam". LinkedIn always pretended to help businesses and employees but indeed they don't do anything special to match people except for recruiters, which at the end it is enough with a search. To put it straight, it is not a Tinder for business. I tried many paid services like Ads, Premium, and API. They are subpar. I recruit better via Reddit than via LinkedIn, you can post i…

I've never had a LinkedIn account and I still get spam from them. The "so and so wants to connect with you on LinkedIn."
You can preemptively add yourself to their "do not contact" list: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/426 I did it four years ago and they've honored it since.
