In fact, becoming known takes an enormous amount of energy dedicated toward that purpose.

Uhh... having a LinkedIn takes like 10 minutes spent once. For most industries it's a pretty obvious investment to make yourself reachable by anyone who might be looking for you and to have an added data point of legitimacy (as in simply "is this a real human being emailing me")

Your heuristic is extremely bad.

I use LinkedIn to find jobs; and to troll the self applauding, back patting influencer crowd for fun.

Of course you'd have to pay 700k if you're basically rejecting anyone who's ever been online. The candidate pool is, like, three people.
