Why is this shit always opt-out?

Are they afraid it’s a shit feature, so no one would be want to opt in?

    Wish I could opt out of having LinkedIn entirely. It makes me so annoyed that so many jobs require you to have it in order to apply

    What benefit do they get from requiring it? Surely mandating something like that can only filter the pool of talent available.

    This is very easily actionable with the links. Thanks op!

    I just now killed my LinkedIn because it was useless to me anyways. I never got any traction on there aside from people trying to rope me into MLMs or otherwise scam me.

    Also opted out of my data being used for ads while I was at it. Thanks OP.

    Is it an EU thing that they included a link to do this directly in the announcement mail? Either way, thanks for posting this!

    The opt out is specific to your account. If you don't have an account, its less likely that you have information with them to delete

    I guess I'll never know, because I don't want to have an account and I also don't want them to have any data of mine.
