I go to LinkedIn when I'm not looking for work. For some professions, at least, they do have great people and great discussions - but limited by the horrible UI/UX.
I do too. i like some of the pulse/blog post articles from influencers. But lesser so since they opened it to everybody the quality plummeted and now i see articles from people I did not even know I was connected. Some of them are job postings, real estate postings or a redirect to some other website.
True. And that's part of the bad UI - there's no good way to filter different types of content, and the group moderation system doesn't work too well.
