I made the mistake of watching some "videos" on LinkedIn, they were mostly painful, with over-excitable twits enthusing about something generally considered boring or waffling inanely about Zuck or Umsk...I won't do that again in a hurry. I've been on LinkedIn since almost launch day and am yet to see any benefit whatsoever.
At least with Insta reels I pick up some guitar lick ideas...

@sciencebase I ended up having to threaten them with court action.
Me: Sets up account out of curiosity
Them: Relentless spam
Me: Deletes account
Them: Relentless spam
Me: Requests all my data be deleted
Them: Relentless spam
Me: WTF?
Them: We have your email address on record from when you requested all your data be deleted, so we can legally send you spam.

@_thegeoff I don't think I've ever had much spam from them, thankfully...

@_thegeoff If they're still doing it, I reckon the relevant section of the GDPR specified in an email would sort it and save you paying the legals

@sciencebase Their argument was that as they had my address as a result of the "delete all my data" email then it was fine. I told them I'd charge them £25 per removal request for each email I received, then take them to the small claims court if they didn't pay up, and it stopped. Small claims court annoys big companies as it's dead easy for us, and expensive for them to even turn up.
