Remember when LinkedIn bought the best gmail extension to steal all our gmail contacts?

Wow. “For free” according to the company’s LinkedIn page, but visiting rapportive.com redirects me to a Sales Navigator upsell page. I guess the demo is still free? https://techcrunch.com/2020/02/13/linkedin-will-sunset-sales-navigator-for-gmail-formerly-known-as-rapportive-on-march-20/

I think they shut it down ten years ago?

The 2020 article supposedly outlines the history. It looks like it was allowed to decay for some time but officially sunsetted in 2020 Some nuggets: “LinkedIn itself went through a process of cutting off a lot of apps that tapped into its social graph, essentially building the walls around its garden a little higher to encourage more people to pay up for LinkedIn’s premium tiers, or at least visit an increasingly more limited version of the site as free users to bring it more traffic (and possibly get upsold to the premium tiers).”

Oh interesting. I remember no longer using it shortly after the acquisition but maybe they wanted me to connect with LinkedIn or something I refused to do.

It is kind of dystopian that they have your entire professional network and hold it hostage. To reach it you must make clickbait content for the rest of their network and hope it goes viral.

Quite dystopian. You can alternatively pay $50-1000/month to be able to fully search across your own network. I redownloaded my connections last week to test our new upload feature and they gave me blank emails for all my network, citing “privacy”. Even though they let me easily pull my contacts’ emails in the UI (and meanwhile blatantly resell my own email and phone # to dozens of recruiters) And now you have to explicitly opt out of your content being used to train AIs Thank you @rubinovitz and so many other qBuilders here for the ever thoughtful convos. + @j4ck.eth and our incredible Icebreaker team. I am grateful for the opportunity to channel this anger with web2’s extractive data models into building something different.
