LinkedIn is pretty bad at trying though. I got a new job not long ago, they congratulated me on it, two days later or so, and even now still they keep sending me emails about my next future job. I barely have gotten my feet wet at this one... What in the world?

I had a recruiter on LinkedIn do that to me. They literally said "I know that you're starting a new job next week, but are you interested in hearing about other job opportunities?" No, but now your recruitment company is on my blacklist, thanks for the heads up.
What's their benefit to putting in the extra work to delay such emails based on your start time? What if some people actually wanted the emails regardless of a recent new job? What if they don't trust the start times that people claim?
