    For me, apps do not get to notify me unless it’s time sensitive.

    The problem is when my food delivery app, or LinkedIn sends me ads when I just want messages.

    It’s annoying to not be able to only receive messages.

      Apps get a one strike rule. The minute I get a notification I don’t want, that app doesn’t get to send me notifications anymore

      LinkedIn has messages? Maybe I don’t use it much, but it seemed like it had ads, and self-promoting messages, or more ads.

        Aren’t messages the only point of LinkedIn? You create a profile which is basically your CV, set it to “looking for work”, and wait for recruiters to message you, right?

          I’ve switched off the “looking for work” after the n-th recruiter who hadn’t even bothered reading my profile. I was under the impression that LinkedIn should also work as a social network for people to “word of mouth” recommend each other, or openings at wherever they work, but all I got was “coach” and “courses” type spam.

        Yeah, I needed to have it on for a week for work stuff. And it kept giving me random notifications about news and stuff. I couldn’t figure it out.

        Out of my 10000 notifications I ignore, there’s one message… and that’s from the LinkedIn team.
