I was hiring on LinkedIn and what really annoyed me the most are two UI dark patterns. 1. If there is someone that LinkedIn doesn't seem fit, there are three clicks necessary to make this person fit compared to one click for accepting the rejection. And it is visually made very clear that this person is not fit. 2. The fitness as calculated by LinkedIn it not working correctly by flagging too many people as being unf…

What do the grades mean?
They seem hellbent on having a rotten reputation. I do not know a single person who likes it other than recruiters (who all tell me they're upset about people not replying to their out-of-the-blue messages). Every developer I know either simply dislikes the LinkedIn experience, or knows about the company's shitty behaviour and despises the company (to the point of deleting their profile or not signing up). Surely thi…
So... Lemme get this straight. LinkedIn is cool with "scraping", and as of recent is now suing and publicly showing how proud they are of such practices [0] - look we protect our users! Yet, not a double standard when they engage in the practice deceptively? Microsoft is still a shady company through and through. https://news.linkedin.com/2022/may/an-update-on-scraping
Scraping for me, but not for thee. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/privacy-and-data-security/link...

This has been happening to us for over a year. We contact support, the posting gets removed, and then a few weeks later it is back. It's infuriating.
We've also had a HUGE influx of fake accounts in the past couple of months claiming to work for our company. According to LinkedIn we have 243 employees! In reality, we have 23. See for yourself: https://www.linkedin.com/company/facetdev/people/ How are these accounts not being automatically flagged as fake?

If i understand your description of what you do correctly, then clicking the email links in incognito mode does not help you in any way. The long weird url is almost always a tracking link unique to the specific email that you received. Clicking it verifies that you received and read the email sent you your email adress, no matter where you click it
When I decide to click on the link then I accept the other side will know I clicked on that URL. What I tried to say was that I am always a bit worried that by clicking on a link there will be a chain of redirects or some click-jacking technique (or anything else) that in result will take over one of my accounts which I'm keeping logged in on my main browser (i.e. google, or LinkedIn)

From personal experience: possibly Twitter. Having a presence there has given me several serious offers to interview, for jobs worth having (FAANG and similar). The folks in my field (ML/applied math/scientific computing) are all on there, and moreover those reaching out to me are always technical folks rather than recruiters. (Twitter gets a bad rap, but the academic/dev parts of it are the single best way I've foun…
I had the opposite experience. 'tech twitter' is full of junior developers, developer advocates, and students, all trying to sell e-books to each other or virtue signal their way into a dev advocate role. I only found content creator and tech influencer sales pitches.
I think tech Twitter quality is heavily dependent on being thoughtful of who you follow.
