Does sending out LinkedIn invites after the interviews seem weird or nah?

I’d leave it until you know the verdict. And if you don’t get the job, leave it a few weeks and then do it, to show you’re mature and not butt-hurt and may connect again later in your career.

That’s generally what I do.

Yeah little weird unless you have like SUPER good rapport.

Definitely would want to wait til you accepted an offer. Do you really want to be LinkedIn buddies with someone at a job that rejected you or that you turned down? I’d say generally not...

Completely disagree on every point. And you're not "buddies" with LinkedIn contacts. It's a network of people you know or have met professionally and there is no prerequisite for how well you know them or for how long in order to connect with them.

like

Follow the recruiters email format and send, if that doesn’t work you can always ask the recruiter in the AM. Connecting on LinkedIn is fine but I wouldn’t send the thank you via LinkedIn.

like

No at all, that's how contacts are developed. Make sure to add a note using those 250 characters allowance when sending the contact request.

Thanks everyone.

One of the reasons why I was thinking about sending the invite is to also send a thank you note because I don’t have their emails. Would it still be weird to do so?

It was a webcam interview set up by the recruiter. And thanks everyone.

Being offered the job or not or accepting the offer or not has nothing to do with adding professional contacts on LinkedIn for (future) networking reasons. You can also request connecting with people you don't know if you had a legitimate business reason to contact them including informational chats. It's up to them to accept or respond. But do add a professional and meaningful / polite note.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.
