True. I'm not in VC or anything, just a regular engineer.
I've been considering ditching LinkedIn altogether for many months now, due to increased rubbish content. The only bit I'd miss is to be able to look into others profiles to basically access their CVs.
I wonder if there in an opportunity for a paid solution for something which is "the old Linkedin" which means your online CV with very limited social stuff... perhaps some text messaging and that's all.
