Comment on Ask HN: LinkedIn mysteriously banned me permanently; where to go next?

Comments

It's a bit sad that we still see these kind of posts (no offense to OP, we all need to eat), but linked in is a cesspool of spam, and relying on it or even being eerie of not using it is demeaning.

How did we get to rely on a _platform_ in order to feed ourselves and our possible children or cats? (with so many options available)

the recruiters which _rely_ on a linked in link or on a PDF are usually generic anyway, mostly...

Because it’s convenient for 99% of people 99% of the time. OP’s case is an exception. Moreover, we don’t know why OP has been really banned, it could have been justified.

That aside, you just go to Indeed and apply to a job. It’s that easy. LinkedIn isn’t a requirement.

exactly, this _convenience_ is a bit alarming, to me. but i guess, if it works, it works, until it doesn't.
