They also make poor use of notifications. My "friend requests" always shows 1 new notification- but it's a fake notification trying to get you to send out invites. I find user-hostile actions like that very off-putting.
Considering deleting the account, but I'm curious if just "having a profile/presence" on the service is useful or desired by employers? Not sure if I'm "losing out" on anything by not having an account.
The one thing I do like is that others you've worked with can "endorse" you for certain skills, but in reality I'm not sure how useful that is, ultimately.
