The author seems to be deriving wrong conclusion, I think.
Yes, LinkedIn (like any other social media) is primarily a dumpster. But, and this is a BIG but, you yourself don’t need to produce trash. You can produce HIGH quality content.
No one is stopping you.
So what is the real issue here? I think that it is this: the real grievance of the OP is that his original, high quality, content might loose to the slop. And this hurts, so instead of playing the game anyway, he goes on his own site and complains. Basically playing out the party meme.
