Linkedin is just the worst company ever doing stuff like that, I try to disable all their notifications and almost never engage with anything there (and I check the platform maybe 3-4 times a year max), and they continue to try to tell me some people more or less in my network are doing things I never cared about. God I hate this company.

Yeah this has annoyed me for years. They have notifications for literally anything. I keep disabling notification types on LinkedIn and they just keep making new ones up

The linkedin website works fine on mobile unless you're a power user or something.

The weirdest one is the security notification I get in my email whenever I login. I get an email saying Please verify your device - click this link to continue signing in - but I'm already signed in. I've never clicked the link and sign in works correctly anyway.

My down folder is full of email from linked in that I gave tried to disable a handful of times and have now given up. How does any of their email still get accepted?

That’s also something I do not understand. I don’t get how their domain isn’t flagged everywhere with a very bad reputation given the amount of spam they produce.
