#3The surveillance factor of LinkedIn is exactly what keeps me entirely off of it... I don't think I've ever gotten a job by using it, it's more like a spare online copy of my resume more than anything else...
It also keeps trying to create a new account automatically off of my gmail account that I can't close... Pretty much a waste of productivity for me to try to use it.

#5I think it's also because the regular dating sites are setup to not find you a match, so by bypassing them (at least in a way), you have a better chance of actually going on a date.
To keep in mind is that this article talks about people who have had success using LinkedIn, I'm sure there are people who've tried it without success.

It is advertised as a necessary evil; "everyone needs one for employment"
I recently deleted my LinkedIn. It is just used to data mine information from you. I think the site is generally pretty useless, even without all the privacy concerns.

You dont get jobs on there because unless you have a “god tier” resume and application filled out, HR has to pay to unlock your name from your application, so nobody is going to do that if you arent the #1 candidate in all of LinkedIn that applied.
LinkedIn is its own worst enemy.

I seem to recall people were using the "flyby" feature of Strava as a dating platform. If it weren't for my poor eyesight and foggy glasses...
