LinkedIn is excellent as it is; its a utility to keep your CV updated and connect with professionals. We don't want FB-like functionality here, thank god.

LinkedIn is a massive pile of dark patterns and spam. What universe are you living in that that's "excellent" or even acceptable?

[geodel]

Well, it is excellent platform for self-declared thought leaders offering groundbreaking insights about business/culture and innovation.

It's a shit platform for that. Users who are attempting to read these "groundbreaking insights" are subjected to a deluge of tracking code and other malicious behavior. There are plenty of excellent platform for people to share ideas, LinkedIn is absolutely not one of them.

I think parent was joke.

I can't even tell anymore.

Excellent if you like endless spam from clueless recruiters who think that Java == JavaScript...

[paulie_a]

Just spam and advertisement. That is all LinkedIn has ever been. The contact aspect is shallow at best if you don't work in HR. It's a circle jerk.

To be clear, I don't have an opinion on the issue myself. I was just trying to clarify the meaning of the grandparent comment.
