When I ask them for examples of how they used networking, 99 times out of 100 they were connecting to friends of their wealthy family or even having the family do the networking on their part. The advice you're putting forward is really as naive as the self-fulfilling prophecy of just giving up.
Have you actually had success from it though?
The spam is still present in closed groups especially since FB stopped providing support to groups last year. Maybe this was valuable advice 5 years ago, but it doesn't appear to be very relevant now.

Doesn't Ant claim to own a business? So either he's the one advertising and therefore doesn't know how this works for the other side or he's a ****ing liar like we all thought he was.
