LinkedIn presents itself as a professional networking platform, but in reality, its usefulness is highly questionable. If you’re hoping to land a job just by having a profile, think again—your chances are slim unless you actively engage in groups, build meaningful connections, and participate in discussions. Otherwise, the platform is overloaded with irrelevant content, motivational clichés, and self-promotion that adds little value.One major downside is the sheer amount of spam you’ll receive. Expect your inbox to be flooded with unsolicited messages, recruiter pitches, and connection requests from people who just want to sell you something. Be prepared to block or ignore a lot of notifications.In short, LinkedIn can be useful if you invest time in networking, but for passive users, it’s mostly a frustrating experience filled with distractions and unwanted emails.
