Security and deliverability folks are cool - they’re the only ones who don’t start pitching their services the moment they connect with you on LinkedIn.

There are spammers who’ll hit you with a product pitch DM even before sending a connection request.

I mean, I’m all for building connections and meeting new people, but pitching isn’t networking.
