No no, it was the advice that would personally benefit me the most. It was the “get with the times” and “it’s objectively better” attitude that pissed me off. He wasn’t telling me about the sad reality but questioned why I would question the norm.
Again, why? Both of those "attitudes" are reasonable.
We do live in the times of privacy exchanged for service. At least this service directly impacts my ability to earn money off that exchange.
LInkedIn is also objectively better at everything you use LinkedIn for: with the exception of, you guessed it, privacy. The only real option you have here is to not use it (and accept you are putting yourself at a disadvantage)
I get the desire to retain privacy, and to not use a product that goes against your code. I just think your reaction to a perfectly reasonable, and entirely predictable response is perhaps naive? Or just unwarranted. You priority privacy over maximising salary potential - an entirely reasonable thing, but not one most people would do.
