where I can click my through a menu, until I can enter my password to delete my account, and it just does not let me.
""Sorry, this feature isn't available right now""

I go to LinkedIn to find work.
My real name is there. My picture is there. My career history is there.
There are many places on the Internet where I can anonymously post inflammatory opinions without endangering my job, my career, or my reputation in my field.
I kind of feel like that is the situation on for everyone else on LinkedIn too.
So... why do some people post inflammatory opinions about politics and other non-career related subjects on that site?
All risk and for zero gain.

Youtube has become rather broken of late. The nagware popup complaining about my ad blocker can no longer be removed. I don't want ads and I certainly aren't going to pay. So far, I download the videos via Jdownloader. Is there a less bothersome way? How do you go about it?
