LinkedIn have been doing this shit for years. I’d load their site through Firefox for Android and see this stuff constantly. I raised an issue several years ago suggesting that they should at least use a cookie to suppress the nagging and a tech sympathized with me but clearly nothing was done.
Because the bottom line is they want people using the app. Not because the experience is better for me, but because it’s better for them - they can scrape contacts, track activity, push notifications and generally just do abusive shit that a website can’t. Everyone who checks into this site once a week or less often should just delete the BS app and load the site from time to time. The whole service is just a meat market anyway so there is no reason to make things even worse.
