LinkedIn now restricts access to more than 3 people in your network at a time, unless you pay $70/month to $200/month, suspiciously right when hundreds of thousands of layoffs have happened. Dear LinkedIn, Thousands of people are being laid off. Your product has been in decline for years now. Your focus should be to build tools to help people tap into their network more effectively to find the right job quickly, not to make your product even worse by restricting the one last benefit of LinkedIn: the network. Not only that, your focus on short term revenue is causing you to overlook a strategic opportunity for longer term revenue. Your content has been in decline for so long because you were the last real “social” network. Facebook is dead, instagram and Tiktok are no longer social. People have had to go to LinkedIn to get their social fix, so content has been getting less work related. Instead of just allowing that commingling of your brand, you should be leaning into it. Create tools that separate work from life. Help people more regularly connect outside of just work. But you are blinded by revenue. You’ve restricted the last thing that could accelerate your brand: the network. F*ck you, LinkedIn, for doing your part to make money off of layoffs and further divide people in this world. From, Blind This is what happens when a company cares first and foremost about money. I hear LinkedIn is product-led. There is no f*cking way that is true. LinkedIn has sealed their fate because they don’t know who they are and they only focus on money, not on making a great product. Let’s refrain from using LinkedIn the first week of January 2023. #linkedin #microsoft
Thanks for your note. I’ll forward it to donotreply-linkedin@microsoft.com
I agree. They removed the Unlimited Browsing perk and moved it to the Business tier; I’ve been trying to search for companies where other people that have worked at my company and ended up and I’ve only been able to get a few results, which prevents me from possibly reaching out to get referrals, especially to companies that pay top dollar according to Blind. It’s unfortunate, considering I love paying for subscriptions, but LinkedIn absolutely refuses to adjust their pricing scheme. TC: 62K
Imagine thinking companies care about anything but money
It always sucked...
Who the hell in the world uses LinkedIn except recruiters? I normally log into LinkiedIn to accept requests, do "read all" on notifications, and GTFO log out.
Lets create LinkedInplus ;)
Go eat a banana 🍌
1. LinkedIn sucks and it has always sucked 2. After MS acquisition it sucks more 3. If you are using a very specialized service to connect to connections of your connections it's more than fair to pay a price for that. Especially if you are desperate and the contact is worth a 500K TC, $70 is nothing. Pay and suck it up.
Dude your post makes zero sense. Describe with an example wth you mean.

What do you mean “access to more than 3 people in your network at a time”? Does that mean you can only have three DMs at a time or what
Go try to find people you are connected with. Your search result will show 3 people, block the rest, and tell you to pay to see them.
OP - are you sure you are using the right feature? If I go to my connections I can view all my connections on that list. What you’re saying is maybe the generic people search for those that are not connected and that’s been the case for a long time now.
