What is number one reason you still have your linkedin profile and what's stopping you from deactivating it?

I use my linkedin as my resume. It doesn't means that I am looking for job all the time.

Because I am getting job offers without moving a finger. I call it a win.

Actual offers or spam offers?
InquisitiveMe
Both. But more actual than spam.

Not sure what i am doing wrong, but i haven't got a single offer on Linkedin that didn't misread my whole skill stack completely.

"I saw you do Ruby, how would you like to help us with our native iPhone app?" or "I saw you known nginx how would you like to help us to maintain our huge deprecated PHP app?"

Because I never got around to deleting/deactivating it. It's at least 5 years out of date.
