Financially, perhaps the numbers made sense. It was (and still is) a very basic social networking site with poor UX. Microsoft paid for a user base and a rudimentary surveillance system. It would have probably been better for them to just start from scratch. I don’t know a single person who likes LinkedIn. Most see presence on it as an obligation for certain industries. Most of the commenters on there are far worse than what you see on Facebook. It’s usually just one long stream of retired or underemployed old men complaining about “wokeness” and environmentalists ruining the world.
