I highly suggest you unfollow everyone on LinkedIn as well; the result is the same: nothing in your feed and no ads, but everything is still available to you—like searching for jobs and looking at profiles/messaging folks.

I don’t have a tool that does this for you, but it’s definitely the way to go. Literally when I go into LinkedIn it’s just a completely blank page; it’s fucking glorious.

I deleted Twitter during the 2008 election cycle and I “disabled” my FB acct (allowing me access to Messenger and Marketplace; the former only used for the latter) and it’s been amazing.

This is how you deal with these companies: by using their services without the noise and advertising that keeps them afloat.
