LinkedIn is such an objective failure. I’m independent and even I deleted mine.

You can rest assured they’re still handing out our information.

Eh disagree. It’s been invaluable for keeping up with former colleagues. And finding contacts to assist with business.

Yeah people's contact information changes over the years, especially these days. Some people I develop a close enough relationship with to exchange personal email accounts, the majority I don't.

I'm independent as well and some of my biggest projects have been from former people i've worked with reaching out.
