That's why today I got an email from a headhunter that used Data from my LinkedIn profile. Fuck this.

no because they probably paid a couple of hundred bucks to email you from one of the many data banks that source their information from LinkedIn.

My sarcasm detector is uncertain with this one.

No sarcasm, I never got an E-Mail before from a Headhunter, only LinkedIn Messages. Not gonna lie, I hated it.
