I would be fine with it if there was at least a salary range included in the message. But 90% of the time there isn't one
I was once on a call with a recruiter - the company seemed interesting - asking what positions they are looking people for, only to be met with question what can I do.
I mentioned software development and some project management things, but we kind of ended up talking in loops. It was difficult to tell what I can do when they didn't seem to know what they were looking for or had available.
it was a weird experience

Conspiracy theory time: I have been applying to a lot of companies on LinkedIn. I noticed something strange. Many companies would have 30-40K followers but just 1-2 employees. They have tonnes of openings for a variety of roles. You can do the easy apply. I feel they are just harvesting your CV/Resumé and selling it.
Thats absolutely not a conspiracy theory. It’s a well known, very real phenomenon. To the point where FTC has warnings about similar things [1]

I've seen something similar wrt founders and startup bros. It's kinda funny when some seed/Series A/B startup founder has like 30-40k followers. Meanwhile, even behemoths like Joel Spolsky and Michael Seibel have "only" 5-15k followers.
LinkedIn search has a "NOT" operator. For example "software engineer NOT Affirm NOT Dice NOT Jobot"
You would have to enter it every single time you search, so not my cup of tea.
you can do this with just ublock cant you e.g.
old.reddit.com##.self.link.gilded.even.linkflair-S.linkflair.id-t3_150q28y.thing:has-text(self.tifu)
old.reddit.com##.self.link.gilded.even.linkflair-S.linkflair.id-t3_150q28y.thing:has-text(self.tifu)
Your solution requires manual entry, this is a right click away (most people rather not spend time fiddling with uBO), also that solution relays on css selectors not changing in the near future, this extension keeps working regardless.
I've come up with a filter rule that removes the enormous amount of promoted (aka spam) items from job listings page.
linkedin.com##li:has-text(Promoted)On LinkedIn "Promoted" just means that they paid to get top position at the listing.
Assuming this manipulates the DOM, won't it mess with pagination?
It adds "display: none" so it doesn't delete DOM nodes so its not likely to mess with pagination, but of course JavaScript can do anything (e.g. measure the rendered height) so it's possible that it messes with some layouts; I remembered trying it on facebook and it went awry, I had to undo it (in the options page of the extension you can see the full list of your filters and just hit "delete" on one)
There's a notorious job agency in London that spams users inboxes in what I suspect is attempt with fake jobs in order to collect CVs. I don't think this is exclusive this particular agency but still pretty rare.
With the advent of GDPR it's a sketchy way of getting around rention laws or advertising for months to do more of the same.
LinkedIn needs a 'block this agency/company' feature but I think that would impact it's bottom line.

Can you name the agency so I know of I was harvested?
Trust me, I have a vested interest in applying through the recruiter because I know the recruiter will poke the company when I need him to. So I won't just apply to the company behind your back, but don't waste my time please.
