I look back at having one and feel ashamed.
FWIW many universities have "career development" classes where you learn to interview, write a resume etc. It was a required assignment for us to create a LI account.
Same class gave us a 1yr free subscription to the NYT paper. Wild to see how bad the propaganda was interwoven.
Not much feels more “matrixy” than LinkedIn. Add Bill Gates and Reid Hoffman’s fingerprints to it and it’s a hard pass.
It's been a mission to wipe myself from a google search to be as stealth as possible. Has taken me probably 2 years to get all the major stuff.
What services or steps do you recommend?
It's more so just deleting all the socials. There are a few websites that have "request data deletion" such as those weird sites that seem to have data on your cell and previous address.
Takes some digging in the sites but most of them have an email to request deletion. Just have to be patient and persistent with them. Eventually they follow through.
