Ask HN: Anyone getting LinkedIn connection invite spam?

3 pointspersonjerry2 comments

I'm getting a ton of fake account connection invites on LinkedIn. It's very annoying. Anyone experiencing the same thing? Anyone know how to stop it from happening?

Sometimes I get useful connection invites so I don't want to mute them all.

Yes, two times a week

but the worst were recruiters, really a lot of noise

I removed completely my account, and this was one of the reason (the main reason was inability to turn down the payment subscription to the free one: they made it hard to me, and I was just annoyed by it)

3-5 a week, a few months ago. LI has done a good job of reducing to 1-2 every 2 weeks. Reject enough obvious fake ones and there is a self-learning component.
