Believe I also turned off all “promo” emails and communications of any sort in the settings while i did have linkedin… thinking about just straight up deleting it now instead of leaving the profile deactivated.
I find LinkedIn useful, but absolutely refuse to install the app on my phone. I figure it’s enough to give them access to my contacts and resume to monetize, they don’t need my location also.
Whenever I get an email notification that I have a LinkedIn message, I check it the next time I am at my desktop. Then, without fail, after I check it they send me a follow-up email reminding me that “LinkedIn is better on the app!”
That just reinforces the idea that I will never, ever install their app.
I was the same until I was actively looking for another job. I wanted to ability to provide an instant read/response.
I had to make an email filter just for airbnb, after requesting account closure several times.
Booking.com at least honored the 2nd or 3rd request.
If linkedin has an investor page, set a forward so their emails go to investor relations.
That would be funny, but this email includes my name unfortunately.
Unsubscribe. If you still get mail from them, mark as spam.

Thank you 🙌
I used LinkedIn very briefly 10 years ago, when I moved back from abroad. I haven’t logged in for at least 9 years and actually lost the access. I still get emails from them. I can even unsubscribe without reseting my password und regaining access of my account.
I mark them all as spam.
I’m not sure about the LinkedIn’s situation in other countries but, in the country I live in, except for those jobs who have the “Easy Apply”, most of the jobs from LinkedIn redirect LinkedIn’s users to third-party platforms (such as “Gupy”, a HR platform used by many brazilian corps). For every single job one wishes to apply, Gupy will require them to fill all their information again and again. It’s infuriating for those who’re seeking a job…
The “Easy Apply” also doesn’t really help. Several jobs aren’t jobs at all, but designed to fill HR’s “talent pools”. Not to mention the AI-based filtering that HRs are using to select candidates based on “secret keywords”, without previous interviewing of such candidate. “Human” resources, as they call themselves. LinkedIn is just an echo chamber for such HRs.
Lastly, I also deactivated my LinkedIn profile (“Hibernated” it), yet I keep receiving those emails (“Your account is still hibernating”)…
This is why I use an email aliasing service now. Every new site gets a different email address but they all get forwarded to the same account. If one ever misbehaves, their associated email address alias gets deactivated. It’s great to keep track of who’s selling addresses too.
Sometimes unsubscribe just isn’t good enough.
This is the way!
So the unsubscribe link doesn’t work?
Only until the next email
That’s illegal. You could pursue it if you want some free money.
deleted by creator
Why did you block the number of views? Are you embarrassed?
It says 1.8M and they doesn’t wanna disclose their identity.
so incredibly embarrassed…
Me too mate, me too.
I hate that platform. My account got blocked because I haven’t used it in a long time but was still receiving emails. I decided to delete it but I had to submit my ID. I wasn’t very happy about it but apparently they delete the data right after verifying your identity. Anyway, I submitted 2 requests and waited over 3 weeks and no one bothered to look at my case. I literally had to go through the privacy policy to find a contact for a data protection officer to write an email to. You can’t contact support or even unsubscribe from the emails without logging in first. Just terrible.
Simply put “unsubscribe” in a folder rule for your mail client and delete them automatically. Obviously if you have newsletter subscriptions you actually want to receive Marie sure those are filtered and sorted away before the "unsubscribe"tile kicks in
