If you don’t pay your taxes, the US government will put you in jail, garnish your wages, etc.

If you cancel your LinkedIn or Tinder account, nobody is going to throw you in jail. Even if you just stop paying.

They’re wildly different.

Sure, you just won't get as good a job or be able to reproduce as much if you don't pay your taxes. The US Government will also let you avoid taxes by making less money.

If you were getting better jobs _because_ of LinkedIn, you were never entitled.

The US Government isn’t the one providing your income.
