yeah, they love making up new email categories you haven't yet opted out of. still i think linkedin is one of the less disturbing social networks because it is explicitly supposed to be the kind of shallow bullshit that it indeed is. basically interview/sales-mode, easy to understand. where e.g. instagram, is just as bullshit but pretends to be something else entirely.

because graphic design is their passion microsoft being microsoft, they take the wrong lessons from all the feedback they get and they've decided that the time to octuple down on visual consistency is with their bastardized kde theme of a ui from windows 11. so now everything is going to get that, whether it makes any kind of sense or not, and it will look like poo poo everywhere, but it will also be visually incongruous on anything except windows 11.
