I've just deleted my LinkedIn profile after being an early adopter many years ago. It's just become a tiresome source of demands and unsolicited approaches

Corporations:
Step 1: Hoard all the things; alienate all the things; make literally every tiny thing in life a competition -- ultimately, make it impossible for communities to form, much less sustain themselves and thrive

Them: Um, not really. Just whatever would normally be delivered.
Yeah. Sure.
