LinkedIn’s new UI proves it doesn’t know it’s value to users

Worth pointing out (but not mentioned in the article):

Since switching to a new design, there's actually no way to view anyone's profile without logging in, not the basic info as there used to be, nothing. By following the link to someone else's profile, you're being greeted with the signup/signin page.

So, you can't effectively open anyone's profile without triggering the "who looked at your profile" thingy (other than opening a spare account for that purpose, of course).

Profile viewing options > Private mode will let you do that. You lose your own "who's looked at your profile", but that seems like a fair tradeoff.

Here's the rub though: if you pay for premium you can turn on private mode and still see who's looked at your profile.

This sounds like a fair and valid premium feature?
