The actual jobs and networking aspect is fine imo, but I loathe the feed/content, even the SWE-related stuff is a lot of times bad or clickbaity.

I hide the feed + sidebar with a uBlock Origin filter and it's a much nicer experience: linkedin.com##main[aria-label="Main Feed"],aside[aria-label="Add to your feed"]

So don't read the feeds. My LinkedIn exists as an easy way for other folks in my field to contact me who might not have my email. Works quite well for that process. I don't read any posts.

I dont understand the hate either. Yes it sucks if you follow people you don’t know, but LinkedIn allows you to hide literally everything without breaking the connection. It’s not like Twitter where you are forced to see the updates of the CEO.
