There are also salespeople that want to connect and all sorts of riff raff. I made the mistake and accept some people I didn't personally know in the beginning. Had to un-friend them because they spammed the carp out of me and the feed.

LOLOL, I built up a network of over 650 people working at Uber, Tesla, Apple and a few other companies in the space of a month. I went from about 20 connections to over 650 pretty easily, without knowing anyone. I lost a lot of respect for Linkedin as a legit tool.
