I have recently deleted my lindekin account for many of the reasons mentioned in the article. But what really had me saying: that's enough, was the HUGE amount of unsolicited communication I was getting. From young professionals entering hackathons and looking for guidance to the "talent acquisition" people, who just dump on you all the openings they have to see if you respond to any of it.
Hackernews is currently my social network. I use youtube to make low effort videos logging what I've been working on and HN to actually invite people to interact with things I build and get feedback. I still have an Instagram account, but I'm planning on deleting it also.
i also deleted my linkedin last month or so. the amount of recruiter spam was so much, it would take more effort to filter through that vs using a job board. 10+ years of senior contacts gone i guess but if there are trust issues about prior jobs that means i made em doubt my capabilities
