LinkedIn SPAM

Something crossed my mind. A comment on LinkedIn:

Sorry, I don’t want to be rude but why do people post ”if you see ‘this’ please Like, Share or Comment” on LinkedIn? Sometimes added with a: “I want to see if LinkedIn works.” Some might say: “Don’t bather” “Mind you own business” “jada jada” and I agree with you. But isn’t this pure SPAM?! Of course LinkedIn works and the result is you get a lot of Likes, profile Views, visibility etc. And if you’ve connected to Klout or similar your score will raise. But did you truly raise your influence, share of knowledge, networking capacity? Don’t think so! Independent of it was act of un- or awareness.
