Have never used but seen their name quite often as an ad in reddit app. Feels like 1 out of 3 times I see them.

More reason to avoid them. I don't fault a company for needing to advertise, that's a given. But incessant constant barrages of your company name in unrelated spaces, certainly aren't the way to do it. Kind of like the same damn ads 3 times in a row on Pluto TV, or Spotify, etc.
They think they're getting MindShare™

Instead they're getting Annoying™

On a related note does anyone happen to know how you can filter LinkedIn's job lists to exclude specific advertisers? The promoted entries already make the lists frustrating to use if you're seriously looking to make a move but then certain brands including Toptal seem to list dozens of generic roles at once that just get in the way. It's almost annoying enough to give up on LinkedIn entirely but every now and then something actually worthwhile does show up on those lists for me so I'd prefer to just reliably filter out the items that have no interest for me.
