Madison Avenue - 2023
Ad Exec 1: Candy sales are down. People are eating healthier. I don't know what to do about it.
Ad Exec 2: I hear ya. Croc sales are down too, people want high quality footwear they can wear at the office. I'm stumped too.
Ad Exec 3: Who gives a s***?! You both just gave me the best idea to increase billings!

Ga jij ook van #LinkedIn af na de zoveelste instelling die met jouw data aan de haal gaat? (deze keer is het #AI)
on November 3, LinkedIn begins sharing whatever they find laying around with their "affiliates", which of course includes Microsoft, and thus it's affiliates; good idea to review privacy options on LinkedIn to control what you wish to share... #LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a8059228

It is not easy to delete your LinkedIn data without deleting your account, but it does make me creative 😈
If you plan on leaving LinkedIn you might want to show very clearly that you are not on LinkedIn anymore. See the profile screenshot as inspiration 😄
Hopefully this will encourage others to also say goodbye to LinkedIn.
Now I still have to inform 637 contacts & unfollow them. Trying to automate this.
Worst case: I'll inform and unfollow a few people every day.

Mail von LinkedIn: "Sie wurden diese Woche in 42 Suchen gefunden"
Wonach haben die gesucht? Kaffeetrinker?
Will leave #LinkedIn before Nov 3rd.
Already objected against using my data for #AI training purposes. After deceptive design, manipulations to force the app instead of a browser & annoying account verification practices this was the last straw.
Will keep my account, but redirect people to my site instead. Removing as much data as possible & informing contacts before removing them. Though only LinkedIn can answer the question if things are truly removed, I will try nonetheless.
