The bad, is mostly the spam from the recruiters that just want to fill an interview slot, or just want to update their CRM to get their manager off their back (in some cases, they ask for a CV without actually having a job role to put you forward for).
That said, it's manageable, honestly.
The better parts of it:
through LinkedIn, I have in the past had a recruiter approach me "would you be interested in applying for this?" which lead to a 45min interview, and 10mins after the interviewer the recruiter called me back with "they'd like to offer you 12k/year more than you get paid right now."
I can keep in touch with past co-workers, keep up to date with where they are, share techie news with them, without it being Facebook.
I now have several recruiters that I would almost call friends, so much so that when a friend on the other side of the country called me with "I hate my job" - it took me 30mins to get them a recruiters phone number near them that had comparable roles for them to talk about.
I find that there's good & bad to it.
