    It's just Facebook with a bunch of political/woke/social justice posts from business "professionals." I hate it since I need to be in LinkedIn, but I just block people who post political crap on there. LinkedIn is for Professional work, not your echo chamber.

    And also how “recruiters” message w/ jobs that have little to nothing to do with your profile. They waste time so consistently the inmail has a caned response.

    It found me a job in 2012, after that it was just annoying. I retired from it when I retired from work - with similar signoff posts at both places.

    It’s useful as a reference tool, to research companies or recruiters or other professional connections. I’ve never understood why anyone would want to use the social media aspects of the site. I literally never look at my feed.

    When it was first released I thought it was a great place to be and talk about work related items, network with old colleagues, and find new job resources. Now it's a crappy version of FB but still works for finding jobs. Also, I have a bad taste in my mouth with their monetization. It was like pulling teeth trying to cancel their premium account.

    I have a dozen people who have "friended" me who all have these 500+ networks, I've never met them, but it seems like we have common connections so I figure maybe this is just potential networking? or they just spam everyone and it's a numbers game

    ^ Most just trying to boost their numbers, was my experience. Most were in fields so different from mine there'd be no other point having me in their networks.

    I put my LinkedIn URL on my resume so when I apply for a job, I can tell if a recruiter of a certain company looked at my profile.
