How is this better than just not using Linkedin? I used the Linkedin network (even the recruiters-- it only takes two good ones to balance out a hundred junk spammy ones) great effect in landing my last two jobs, even while the site itself is kamikaze nose diving into the toilet with its every trashier design evolutions to boost "engagement" and "stickiness" and "ad impressions" that no one wants. But if Linkedin, has nothing you, why not just leave?
