There is no benefit to be gained from disagreement or debate. Any such discourse looks problematic to a potential employer.
Daily I see an OP based on myth / incomplete ideas (read: ultimately the originator is sharing bad advice)and then 95% of the replies to that mindlessly agree. The flaws are often obvious, and no one notices.
The endless game of catching people's attention. Focus on actual value creation? Nah, let's just mind-hack everyone into buying the product.

I wish LinkedIn wasn’t seen as a valid background check tool. Now that we have HR going whole hog on AI processing of job applications, up to and including the first round interview, can we please get rid of LinkedIn?

Just your resume and your person is all that I need. Anything more is just pandering to indecision and wasteful spend.

LinkedIn is basically a marketplace for boomers. Facebook but for jobs pretty much. Im sorry to hear u think this highly of it, as its just a gathering of pretentious people.

I see zero slop on my feed. Maybe because I only follow friends and former coworkers that I liked. How many people are you following?
