I've always used a mantra of "You can't win the game without playing it". A large majority of recruiters and job searchers in the world use LinkedIn. If you're not willing to throw yourself out there in the LinkedIn world, I think you'll find you're not opening yourself to enough opportunities for your career growth. This is strictly from a growth perspective though.

I got my current job and wake up incredibly happy every day, and this opportunity only came because I glossed-up my linked-in profile and a few recruiters expressed interest.

Linked-In networking might be a terrible and sometimes cringe-y game to play, but trust me, you'll be glad you expended the few braincells it took to fake it when employers and recruiters start knocking.
