You can change a setting so that you only show up as a view but not who you are.

Unless they pay for it and then they can see everyone who clicks on your profile again.

I don't think this is accurate. I believe if you go into your privacy settings, you can put yourself into a semi-private or a private mode so that your views aren't shown even when you click to view someone who is a LinkedIn Premium member. However, the big disadvantage is that when you put yourself in a private mode, if you are a non-subscribed user, you will not have access to these analytics for your own profile at all.

This is covered in this help article, especially the bullet points at the end[0].

Is this confirmed? I always thought premium overrode anyone’s privacy. The page doesn’t explicitly say.

I have premium. I can confirm this. Whatever your private browsing page shows is what I see. If you're fully private, all that registers is that someone has looked at my profile but nothing identifying, just a bump in profile views.

I think what they meant is that you can't see who clicked your profile if you're browsing (semi?) anonymously unless you pay for premium.

You can browse anonymously for free.

To see all the folks who've visited your profile, you need to pay.

That's not what they meant, yikes

Not true; you can remain hidden still
