The only thing good to come out of LinkedIn is Kafka. That's it. I deleted my account about a year ago. It does suck, I lost all those "network connections" from past contracts and employers. It's so hard to keep up with people now. So many people rely on those dang third party sites. It did cause harm to me by leaving it, as I can't find a job. I have no idea how to find one anymore. That site got so bad that it became useless and predatory. It beat me down and caused my depression to worsen. I had to leave. I couldn't handle all the fake jobs, the calls that never happened, the constant filling out of applications (hey, Workplace you suck too, why can't we just allow each employer to see our resume when asked and not have 100+ accounts? Yeah, you're harvesting for others as well), the constant messaging from fake recruiters, the fake articles, the HR worshiping sycophants with their cringe posts... you know the list. It goes on an on. Ok, I'm done rambling. I'm depressed again. I'll run out of $ soon and then...

Just wanted to say I feel ya man. I've been LONG term unemployed also. In my 40s now and my life is continually circling the drain. Wish I had good advice to give, but there is none to be found. There's not much hope out there and things are only going to get worse as we are headed into economic collapse. The world is in a really, really shitty place right now.
