LinkedIn Job Spam

4 points by KuriousCat ↗ HN
Does anyone else experience this? Recently I started getting a flood of emails for the same position with different titles slapped on the job description which eventually lead me to hibernate my account. Even worse, once I rejected a particular recruiter I get couple more reaching out about the same.

Not me. Nor did I get hit with the recent Fediverse SPAM run.

But I think that I'm probably still getting the usual several thousand email SPAM attempts per day, so the world is normal!

Isn't LinkedIN known for this? I un-subscribed from all their e-mails but still they get through, and I have to login and disable those too. It's a cat-and-mouse game I like to play.

LI does definitely like to add more and more and more categories of email/notification, and yes you have to turn those off to remail sane. (And I often turn too many off and visit less frequently as a result - but who said marketing was rational or humane?)

But I think that's different to the OP's flavour of SPAM...
