LinkedIn is laying off nearly 700 employees

I spent some time a while back to "unfollow" everyone on linkedin apart from a very few select individuals. I unfollow people by default everytime I have a new connection. My wall is uneventful, but at least I don't feel like I'm going to facebook everytime I connect (which is rare)

Kind of related:

One day I decided to rapid-fire dismiss all of the "suggested connections" that LinkedIn was putting in front of me. I probably dismissed 200 in a single setting.

The next day(?), I got a warning from LinkedIn that my account was being audited for misuse or some such thing.

Although I was manually dismissing those suggestions, I'm guessing it tripped some bot-detector or something.

I have to know/worked with the person or if they're a recruiter (to connect).
