I don't quite understand people's problem with LinkedIn - for me it has only one real page, my profile, and two other areas: recruiter chat and people I might know personally to link to. I got a job via recruiter chat on it once, and I drop in every few months or years to add a dot point to the resume. There's nothing else on that site?

Exactly. I have my updated profile on Linkedion. I occasionally ask for recommendations and I respond to messages from recruiters and use it as a professional address book.

I also use it to research the background of interviewers, potential managers, and coworkers. I work remotely so it’s the easiest way to do so.

Besides that I completely ignore it.
