Hi, the lead/infobox shows conflicting LinkedIn user numbers (1B members vs. 310M MAU, with the latter flagged “unreliable”) — should this be clarified or updated with a better source?

i don't understand how LinkedIn is behaving ~2026-32649-55 (talk) 01:15, 1 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

This is not the place to contact LinkedIn, this is an informational/encyclopedic article about LinkedIn. You will likely need to work with LinkedIn if you're having issues. Jiltedsquirrel 🌰 ^{(talk || contribs)} 01:16, 1 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
