Someone who works at LinkedIn told me that Linkedin measures success by how many times a user opens the app. It would not surprise me if the numbers are exaggerated to make someone look good for a promotion. My take is that it must drive engagement somehow.

In a similar way, recruiters post ghost jobs to gather data and make companies look like they are growing.
