So, just hire one of those "account aging" services?

Because if you expect people to go there keeping everything up to date, posting new stuff, tracking interactions for 3 years and only after that they can hope to get any gain from the account... That's not reasonable.

What?

You only need to create an account once.

Update it when you're searching for a new job.

You don't need to log in or post regularly. Few people do that.

...and hope LinkedIn doesn't get hacked again. I still get plenty of spam addressed to my unique LinkedIn address.
