Maybe this makes sense for recruiters or influencers? I use and browse LinkedIn sparingly, definitely not enough to where paying $48/year makes sense for me.

I want to also make a general comment thats not targeted at you specifically but I'll start by saying "Thank you!" for making the core functionality (removing the Promoted posts) available on your Free tier but man am I tired of everything becoming a subscription. I'm not advocating or implying that people should work for free, but it just feels like every aspect of our life is becoming a subscription in some shape or fashion.
