This is some serious in depth writing that speaks a lot of truths that platforms do not want to talk about: how they feed you data is not anywhere close to how the data is best consumed, and how that doesn't matter to the platforms success. The LinkedIn analysis referred to in the article was really telling as well. I've been thinking about this in terms of credit files recently. There are services that let you check it daily, but they don't provide a daily time series of the data - that's really where the value is and it's why they don't provide a consumer api.
