Over the last 10 years I've got all my jobs thanks to LinkedIn, 2 times through random recruiters, 1 time on my own by looking at jobs. I also receive a lot of appealing offers from people working directly for companies that are hiring (usually startups with 20-100 employees).
I honestly don't understand all the hate on HN. Maybe LinkedIn became useless in the Silicon Valley (I saw a girl from SF the other day on Twitter, a "tech influencer", saying Twitter was the new LinkedIn), or in the US in general (?), but it's still really useful in the rest of the world to find a new job.
I don't use it at all for reading posts and comments tho.
