> LinkedIn is pretty important nowadays when searching for work.

This is only true if people repeat it and believe it to be true.

Ok. So if you’re locked out of linkedin, now all you need to do is change the hundreds of thousands of other LinkedIn users to change their mindset instead of pleading with LinkedIn themselves to restore your access.

Which they do.

Particularly, employers.

Well, you can think about it like a filter for bad jobs : as a hacker, why would you want to work for an employer that uses a Microsoft platform ?

>bad jobs

>Microsoft platform

Are you 13, and living in the year 1999?

>as a hacker, why would you want to work for an employer that uses a Microsoft platform ?

Because I want to work in organizations like NASA.

Out in the real world, people care about what gets things done more than what the FOSS community thinks about that choice.

And recruiters will use whatever platform that will allow them to find the right people.

Your definition of "bad jobs" excludes any job that matters (or pays).
