LinkedIn as a host of your CV with potential recruiters finding you is pretty ok to be honest, there's nothing else there to experience though, I don't ever want to look at my feed, I ignore 90% of the recruiter spam. Still, I got my current job from a recruiter contacting me, at a major tech company you are probably aware of. You don't need it to be a social network thingie, it can just be a showcase of your CV that you can check messages from recruiters/other people hiring when you feel like it, ignoring them is also quite expected so you don't lose anything in the end. As someone in this industry for 20+ years, you are not gaining anything by enthusiastically ignoring it, it doesn't take my attention or care and it can give you pretty good opportunities sometimes. In summary: in my opinion your impression is wrong, LinkedIn is definitely not a necessity but just by sheer volume you'll find many great opportunities there, at least in the tech/tech-adjacent industry.
