There are 2 facets to LinkedIn. One is an “evergreen Rolodex”. Another is the social media and “engagement” aspect Microsoft is desperately trying to prop up.

You do not have to participate in the second aspect, outside of marketing/social media focused roles where your “performance” on there serves as your actual resume.

Agreed. I can see how people who approach it like social media find it adversarial. But I think that is on them. If you don’t look at the feed, it’s a great Rolodex like you said. If you do look at the feed, then you’re just hooked on social media which isn’t the platforms problem.

I just no longer like my personal info being online anymore.
