L.I.O.N or Not

I am con­tem­plat­ing this idea with LinkedIn late­ly, and I want to ask the community’s opin­ion.  With­in LinkedIn, there is a LinkedIn Open Net­work­er or L.I.O.N move­ment in which mem­bers are will­ing to accept invites from any­one.  The pro­posed ben­e­fits of being an L.I.O.N is that it increas­es an indi­vid­u­al’s busi­ness net­work in which they can cul­ti­vate for either busi­ness leads or job oppor­tu­ni­ties.  The neg­a­tive is that the LinkedIn Update feed is over­run with updates that do not tar­get a per­son­’s inter­est.  In my effort to improve my LinkedIn Update feed, my thoughts are to reduc­ing my num­ber of con­nec­tions and who I fol­low.  My ques­tion is by doing so, do I harm my LinkedIn expe­ri­ence in the long run?
