Hi, engineer at LinkedIn here.

As much as it might seem corporate propaganda, LinkedIn really emphasizes a "members first" attitude in engineering. Engineers frequently get commended for decreasing spam, improving UX, and securing member data.

I guarantee this post will be reviewed tomorrow, and we'll discuss how to improve the flow for connecting with new LinkedIn members from the "People You May Know" feature.

Please keep the feedback coming. :)

Why do I, after several years of people complaining, still have to log in to unsubscribe from your however many different types of emails?

And even logging in after clicking "Unsubscribe" doesn't unsubscribe you: you then have to go to options and find whatever caused the email yourself.

For a company that puts members first, that seems very member unfriendly. But it does mean more emails to users, which no doubt increases some metrics.
