Nothing LinkedIn does adds any value to anything. It's like the buzzfeed of social networks. If a constant barrage of clueless recruiters doesn't drive people away, it's the insane "recommendation" engine that gets people who have never touched a line of code to recommend me for Ruby on Rails (I don't even know Ruby).
No matter how many times I told LinkedIn to stop emailing me, they always thought up new features to notify me for (and, of course, enabled them by default).
The entire app is a toxic spamfest. I closed my account long ago and I have NEVER looked back.
