LinkedIn sign up for Blind to remain New

Once this worked where I was able to use Linkedin verification to sign up for Blind and remain New. Now that’s not working. Has anyone else faced the same issue, or perhaps Blind enhanced verification? Any other tips to remain “New”? I’m very uncomfortable being open on Blind with my company name showing - easy to identify by location/role/topics ( even with 250k employees). At the same time my other personal domain based email sign up is not working anymore as well - just get an error message when I try to sign up. It used to work.
