For me, it's just networking - i.e. does anyone I know (well enough to call for a favor, at least) work anywhere interesting? It's helped me get at least two jobs that way (over a decade, so I'm not suggesting this is constant value). It's also helped me help other people I used to work with get jobs where I could connect them with a recruiter/manager. I don't think the news feed has particular value (though I do see some interesting folks migrating away from X to posting things on LinkedIn), but I think pretending the site sucks because you've connected with/followed boring or uninteresting people is kind of weird and indicates a failure to understand that it's still essentially self-curated social media.
