I don’t know man. I get a lot of messages on linkedin and mails from people i have never met. I have a busy life, i don’t need to engage with everyone.
Sure, i could have replied someone instead of writing this post, but that doesn’t matter.
I don’t owe you my attention.
Recruiters are ghosting me as well
Nah, I’m good.

Totally not offended. Just wanted to point out an example of the bare minimum. 🙂
Two words
Now please leave me alone. A deal is a deal and a bet is a bet

Sounds like I need to do a PSA for the people reaching out. I never ask for anyone to hop on a call, unless we've had a few message exchanges. I often compliment their work, or ask them about them, comment on their posts, etc because I'm genuinely interested in them and want to connect.
That said, if someone responded with I don't have time sorry, I'd respect that. When you can tell someone is being superficial I totally understand the "ick" you get.
Here's two words: I'm busy
Imagine from the other perspective. How many messages do you think that person gets? How many invitations for unpaid labor? Because having your brain picked is work. And we’re already exhausted.
It’s not personal.
I actually preferred people to respond only if they like my work and have a job openings! Other wise ignore me. let’s not waist each other’s time. I am busy looking for a job and they are busy with their work.
