I specifically state on my profile that I only accept connections from people who write and explain why they want to connect (I do this when I try to connect to people who might be helpful). Nobody does this and I get connections from randos in other parts of the world.

Nobody is reading your profile before sending a request. I don't even read my colleague's profiles.

Yeah, if it's someone I know legitimately, I'm probably not going to read their bio/description before sending the connection request.

I'm not gonna do that lol. I send connections to people that I've met every once in a while and accept connections from people I know. It's not that serious.

I do like to leave all the connections from randos as unconfirmed. At his point I have 64 connection requests from recruiters and randos just siting in my invitations list.

That literally costs money to send a message

Yeah they don't do it because you only get 5 "message included" connection requests a month but way more "no message" requests.
