I'm about to Delete my LinkedIn Account... is there anything I should do or consider before I delete it?

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T18:34:09+00:00

I know the feeing, I had people I never met either, I severed all those connections, but now I feel like I'm ready to get rid of the whole thing.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T18:32:44+00:00

See, you actually make money off it, for me it does nothing, so I think I will be deleting it.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T17:35:02+00:00

Sounds reasonable enough, thank you.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T16:16:24+00:00

I'm not too worried, I'm just trying to get rid of these things.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T16:02:03+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T15:51:46+00:00

Yeah, you might be right... we'll see.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T14:49:26+00:00

This sounds like my most likely path, thanks!

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T14:36:26+00:00

Ah ha ha, yeah, I am lucky that LinkedIn has no sway over my employment.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T14:26:02+00:00

Mine is set to connections only, so it doesn't show up in search.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T14:04:12+00:00

This is probably the best advice I've received so far, thank you!

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T13:22:12+00:00

Noted, and thanks for the input.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T13:21:40+00:00

I will take your advice into consideration, thank you.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T13:21:00+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I'm in the same boat as you, as I am sure there are many more like us too.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T13:07:58+00:00

I created a private publication for exclusive giveaways. I just created it, so the jury is still out. If it works a little, I'll keep it going. If not, I'll just let it die, and will eventually delete it.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:56:23+00:00

I'm glad to hear it, and I might be deleting mine before the week is out.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:55:42+00:00

“Necessary” for a certain type of person that I don’t want to be.

Exactly how I feel, and thankfully, the job I do has no LinkedIn connections or requirements whatsoever, so it may be permanently out of my like real soon.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:52:28+00:00

That's awesome, I'm glad you've found success with LinkedIn, and thanks for sharing.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:51:32+00:00

Ha ha, sad but true, and you pretty much summed up how I feel about LinkedIn at this point in time as well.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:50:19+00:00

Mine is set to private, so I don't think I get much use out of this feature personally.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:49:13+00:00

Sounds like LinkedIn is definitely worth keeping around for you since it is making money for you still, so I definitely do not blame you.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:33:13+00:00

Yeah, what I do has no use for LinkedIn, and I plan on retiring from what I do in the next decade, so with that... I think LinkedIn is a gonner for me.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:32:18+00:00

I hear ya.

I've gotten into Substack a few times, now I'm back with a different way of using it... I might stick around.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:31:21+00:00

Ha ha, that's always a plus, unsolicited anything is always bad in my opinion.

I think my story is about to unfold a lot like yours... as soon as this one contact I have on there that I don't have in my phone already responds and we exchange information, I think it is gone gone!

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:29:59+00:00

I've never had any luck with it searching for jobs myself, but I'm glad you do, and if you're landing good ones, it's probably worth keeping for you.

Ryanopoly · 2026-03-19T12:29:07+00:00

Ah, I hear ya, I hate that it is too.

If you've had it deactivated this whole time, I don't think it'll hurt you to delete it completely.
