I have a large 20k+ LinkedIn network, every time I get a new job or project and put it there I get about 700 to 900 "congrats" emails that I consider mostly spam. Work anniversaries are a bit less but still a few hundred. Birthdays are similarly an outburst of emails. Is there any way to make this invisible so I don't get these emails / notifications? I use LinkedIn everyday, but this gets overbearing with spam delivered to my work email / LinkedIn inbox every 2 minutes for a week or so with every major change.
Is this really a question that needs to be posted here or just a humblebrag? Google: “Turn off LinkedIn notifications” will yield much more plentiful and detailed results.
But then nobody will know he has a 20k+ network...

It's not a humblebrag, I don't want ALL notifications off cause I get genuine responses on both my personal and premium inboxes. I just want these "noise" notifications off. I figured there are enough LinkedIn employees here that it may have been something of note to being in sales and recruiting type roles that have large networks (and pay for LinkedIn) to consider moving to a filtered inbox for things like these. I know people see it in the feed and can basically click a bunton, so I assume on the back end that may be an easy thing.
Just the generic click a button, "congrats on the new job!" and its variations across languages and such. I don't need those, they provide zero value, and are 90% of the responses I get in these examples. If someone crafted a custom response, it may be read worthy, but many of those are people trying to pitch or sell me something in an update (again, clever but annoying).
Can't turn it off... hate it.
Why do you have 20+ and then complain about notifications lol
I am complaining about this specific type of notification that I derive ZERO value from. I don't care about being thanked every time I put up a new project / engagement on my profile to have an endless stream of "congrats" clogging my LinkedIn inbox and my email. I get a notification every 20 seconds via phone and computer and its maddening, that's all. If there was value in these, I'm not seeing it. I see it as noise clogging my inbox where I am missing actual meaningful communication.
