For last 10+ years it didn't add any value to me. I never apply for jobs via headhunters. And I hate their DMs in LinkedIn.

But for the past 4 years I have stopped adding work friends in Facebook (neither I use insta nor fb messenger). So all my ex work colleagues are connected in LinkedIn.

And lately I have noticed ex-colleagues messaging me in LinkedIn about openings, opportunities, or just small talk. This is very valuable to me. Keeping up the connections without exposing personal life is good. Specially in EU where many people have disabled fb all together.

So yes, LinkedIn is bringing me value these days.

I don't really post anything on my feed - so can't comment. But it's helpful when I see someone else' feed - to get some updates on what they are doing.
