As much as I am aware of how much low value, bottom-of-the-barrel shit flows via LinkedIn - my connections, and the resulting feed, are well curated, and I actually enjoy using LI and for me it's become a genuinely useful news feed for my industry, and in terms of getting work, it's great.

But, shit in, shit out.

I don't believe in LI "reach" because I don't post for reach - I post for meaningful reactions and exchanges of opinions, and my connections are strictly limited to people I physically did work with or have met, and I screen my connections to weed out any nutters I wouldn't want to associate myself with. It works wonders.

So no, I'm not deleting my LinkedIn, but the author perhaps should ;)
