I became so annoyed with LinkedIn I added every filter I could think of to block all email that even mentions LinkedIn. I don't care if I miss opportunities. I like the freedom from distraction .

You can configure your email preferences and you can even delete your account. Setting up filtering rules on the word "LinkedIn" in the body of any email doesn't seem like the best strategy to me.
You really can’t configure your email preferences. I have unchecked spam boxes on LinkedIn’s configuration page no fewer than 5 times in the last 5 years, but they keep inventing new categories and default-enabling them. They know exactly what they’re doing, and it isn’t nice.
