I found it strange that LinkedIn url is required. It did't give me 'we want to make sure you are real' vibes. Instead it gave me 'we're about to collect some data about you' vibes. As an introvert I don't love it.

Adding my voice here as another who avoids LinkedIn. Seeing this comment, I won't even bother to check the site though I'm interested.

Yep. And some of us deleted our LinkedIn profiles years ago precisely 'cuz it got spammy. That makes this a non-starter.

Exact point I bailed; the "close account" flow doesn't appear to work either.

Yes especially given apparently this was set up because linkin is too spammy so this is positied as an alt… that still wants linked in.

This is super helpful feedback!
