I doubt it. If a human hadn't read your profile, how could they possibly be so impressed by your background?
Not very spammy? LinkedIn wrote the book on spam.

By volume? Yeh, doesn't even make the top 10. But why (opposite of) quality? Occasionally, my email will have something interesting within it, sometimes my phone rings and it's not trying to get me to renew the warranty on my car, and even Facebook will sometimes have a kernel of corn in what is otherwise a turd of a feed. My skin starts crawling like there are grifters slithering up behind me though, when it's Linkedin.
In contrast, I put my resume on a job board a few years ago, and I still get a lot of recruiter spam to that email.
Recruiter spam: The recruiter has never read my resume and there's no way I'd be interested or qualified for the job. I suspect the recruiter is just using some kind of automated AI / screening tool.
