I'm not clear why people who hate LinkedIn stay on it. If it is not useful to you, leave. If you want an account but hate the feed, don't read it.
I agree that it has problems. I've also gotten multiple jobs from it. But more importantly, it is my digital rolodex. I absolutely get back in contact with people from prior gigs and we talk, catch up, act as sounding boards for each other's ideas. That has value to me.
But it is just a web site. If you don't like it and it has no value to you, don't use it. Seems like a waste of energy to put this much effort into hating it.
Quitting it completely would solve. The problem is it’s trying to be both a social site and a job utility. You may want the job utility and not the social feed. But they aren’t so disconnected. You land on the site, you’re on the feed. It’s engaging enough to catch your attention, but sloppy enough for you to not like it.
