That's good to know. And it seems like there's a good handful of other people with similar experiences (though that could be bias of the type of people who would be in a thread about linkedin)

Maybe I won't discount it. The dark patterns of the site are just such a turn-off, it really doesn't make a great case for itself in the UX.

Totally agree on the UI, and I’m by no means “active” on the site (I don’t post, comment, or really network at all). It’s just a copy of my resume that shows up in search results, essentially. And recruiters definitely abuse this (looking at you, Amazon). Pros and cons :(
