I honestly don't understand the people who use it daily. Everyone I've ever worked with just uses it as an online resume
Of the people I see posting stuff daily (or at least within a day of the few times a year I log in), it’s all posted by people I’ve worked with with in the past who I thought it was a miracle they were employed at all. And they usually still/again have the Open To Work badge on their pic.
If LinkedIn got rid of the entire concept of a feed, I think it would work a lot better. And the “loss of engagement” won’t contain anything of value apart from ad impressions.
So the stupidest most gullible people you've worked with seem to live on that feed having lots of ad impressions, which are likely to be quite effective due to how gullible they are and the fact that they are all adults with money, and you are asking why MS doesn't remove the feed?
I wonder too...
