This feels like quite an angry post against LinkedIn.
I completely respect your opinion and it’s a shame you don’t feel you got the most out of it. As someone below said I believe it’s more about who you follow and how you use it to get the most out of it.
I follow a lot of tech groups and so the majority of posts I see are relatable to me and so I don’t mind that. I never post about my personal life as that’s what Facebook or Instagram is for. Also I enjoy celebrating others achievements because sometimes people are just proud of stuff they’ve accomplished in their careers and so they’re free to celebrate that.
I never used LinkedIn much until recently but now I post regularly and network with other likeminded developers. If I get a recruiter in my dms I just politely decline.
It’s all just perspective. I do personally enjoy using this platform too for writing my thoughts and learning things from others and I have my GitHub account attached but I don’t use my GitHub to be social that’s just for my projects.
I don’t see however how saying you work for google when you don’t on LinkedIn is any different to writing that on a CV, your portfolio or anywhere for that matter.
