To Keep or Cancel Linkedin

In my part 1 of My Great Social Media Purge of 2019 i outlined my objectives with assessing my use case of each social media platform I use. Part 2 covered Twitter. Part 3 covered Reddit. In Part 4 I will cover Linkedin. its a short one since the decision was pretty straight forward.

Linkedin is a tough one. I feel for professional reasons it is necessary. The data mining that is creepy in other platforms may land me a job opportunity on Linkedin. Funny irony right? I would like to remain blissfully unaware of anything creepy that happens on this platform or what they do with my data. That way I will not dig further into it and get spooked by whatever I find.

I even need to use this platform more to promote myself professionally. Its a keeper. So if you have creepy stories about LinkedIn, I do not want to know.
