Afaik, archive.md / archive.today used to work but now it doesn’t.
Even when browsing while signed in, linkedin will notify them about any person who viewed their profile. I know one can turn on anonymous mode, but still it will notify them.
Does anyone know a way to browse this website without being logged in ?
You analogy is terrible.
A better one is handing out business cards everywhere you go but then expecting to know who looked at them and when.
Are you in marketing? This smacks of tracking links on emails so you can start ringing any customer who clicked on your spam because now they’re a “lead”.
I don’t hand out bussiness cards to folks I don’t know and I don’t add people to my network I have not done bussiness with. I do not send people to my linkedin site or email for them to go see it. I mean in the end I don’t care who sees my profile but if someon is trying to peek without beeing seen peeking then they are like someone who peeks and tries not to be seen peaking.
This is absolutely fascinating to me… That someone would go out of their way to make a public profile for people to view, but then expect to be notified whenever someone views it.
What’s your goal with knowing who looked? Is it so you can return the favour and if it’s a profile you find attractive start hitting them up for drinks after work? If it’s a more powerful person in your industry, to start weaseling an invite to the exclusive country club they are part of? To see if it’s some rube you can sell a box of widgets to? To climb the corporate ladder by mimicking their achievements?
FYI I just looked at your Lemmy profile. And I reckon I might do it again in a moment. Probably even take a screenshot… for later.
So actually im not sure why the OP is worried about it as it is a premium feature but they do pepper you with emails to try it out. I never bothered. But the whole trying to but don’t want to be seen is what screams creepazoid to me. If I could I would love the list of folks looking and trying not to be seen as those are ones I would want to know about to avoid. Its like I hang around nude at home. Generically I don’t care if someone were to see me but if someone was making a point to go by and see me without my notice that would wierd me out.
