There are 1.5 things that LinkedIn can be useful for.
a) it’s a self-updating address book. I typically invite new business contact - customer or business partners - there
b) sometimes I look up new people in upcoming meetings.
Posts are total business bs. Some marketing people believe that advertising there works and say they have the numbers. I know that wouldn’t work on myself. I tend to ignore the activity feed.

LinkedIn might also be useful as a jobmarket. I haven’t had success there. What I’ve seen is:
1) job offerings that are not real but for marketing
2) 3rd party head hunters that try to match people with job offerings where I ask myself how in the world they think I would fit a position.

@iamlayer8 I've had success with the job market in the past but I checked recently and the job search doesn't even work any more. Filtering for specifically flagged attributes simply doesn't work.

If I have to manually scroll past 20 postings that I've clearly excluded for every posting that meets the bare minimum requirements I have, that's not fit for purpose.
