LinkedIn isn't dying, it's as annoying as ever.
Agree?

As a LinkedIn user since 2007, I can confidently say that it's become more annoying than ever. It didn't used to be this way. I don't even go there anymore.
If it isn't dying, maybe it should. It's no longer useful.

Half the time I confuse LinkedIn and Facebook. I have to double check what platform I’m on anymore.

I feel the same. It's no longer useful. What do you use instead for professional use?

For keeping in touch with ex-coworkers, I use a mish-mash of different systems, mainly Facebook, IRC, Discord, and email. Whatever the contact uses, that they are willing to share with me.
Ten years ago LinkedIn was the preferable system for managing contacts, and I would still appreciate something better, but with how LinkedIn has fallen there just isn't anything viable. A better replacement would need to be used ubiquitously, and right now there is no such system.

I haven't logged in since 2017. I was surprised my account wasn't deleted for inactivity. Most of the people I had on there are senior managers and above. Seems like it's an echo chamber now where you reshare links from on r/technews. Seems pointless now and I probably won't login again for another five years.

Spot on. I hate it.

Kinda agree. Why is it annoying for you?
