What's this?

It is somewhat sucky

9/10 times when I accept a request, I get a sales pitch immediately following this. To the people who spam and cold call me, realize your idea is not even remotely original as I get voicemails, emails, junk mail, and linked in messages doing the same. Spam don't work these days.

The only good thing is that if I have a meeting with someone I like, I can connect to them and if I ever need to contact them, it will be easier.

I am entertained by looking at the page of who has been looking at my profile. I get a little unnerved when it is a lawyer though LOL.
