I just don't use it, and somehow I'm doing just fine.


Same. Many many years ago I straight-up deleted my LinkedIn account (in an attempt to cut down on recruiter cold-calls, which didn't work) and I've never suffered as a result.


I actually have an annual calendar reminder setup for myself; once a year I login and read/delete messages.

To be honest I should probably delete my account, but I actively enjoy ignoring it..


Thanks for posting this. I've held out as well, but I question myself each time I get a slack-jawed stare (or the text equivalent) for saying it.
