LinkedIn does this and it is annoying

I recently tried disabling notification in LinkedIn. The designers and engineers working there who created the notifications settings are truly evil. You have to go through 14 categories. Some of them let you toggle the whole category at once, some don't. Some categories are split into 8 more subcategories.

Linkedin sends you notifications an emails for having other unread notifications without any additional info. It's really the worst.

  • "Someone viewed your profile" with a blurred photo of them.

    So you know exactly who it is, but you won't just tell me in the email? I have to open the app/site so you can tick your engagement box for the day?

    So glad I'm off that shit hole. It's just full of pompous picks anyway.

To this day I do not have a LinkedIn account because they have historically been the most aggressive spammers of any company. The year I graduated college, almost 2/3 of the e-mails I received were LinkedIn spam.
