This really has me thinking I ought to just delete my Linkedin. I can't say I've ever got anything out of it except spam and fomo. I don't even like to keep it up-to-date because someone is just ripping that information off.
I believe a LinkedIn profile is mandatory to apply to YC. I could assume you might not be interested in applying to YC, but it’s an interesting fact, and might generalize somewhat for many other applications.
I think that is a mutually beneficial signal probably.
FWIW - I deleted my linkedin about a year ago and I've received more spam since I deleted it than when it was active.
