Linkedin seems to be sending me a lot more notifications via email lately. I've never used the app, as LinkedIn likes to remind you constantly that they can harvest your data way more effectively if you use the app. IDK if they changed something or I did somehow, but I set my profile to private mode a while back mainly because I was getting inundated with connection requests. Now I'm suddenly getting the connection request emails. Is this happening to any other LI users here?

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange LI periodically invents new categories of things to email me about, enabled. I try to find them all, turn them all off, and turn off some other things as well to reduce engagement. I occasionally send LI a snotty feedback email to explain how greedy marketing has backfired AGAIN, never mind breaking GDPR and ethics. (Just had a similar run-in with Patreon with new unsolicited emails that could not be turned off contrary to the claim in them...)
