LinkedIn is not a social network. It's a site which holds my CV and then recruiters message me with Job Specs. I either like the spec or don't, and sometimes I get interviews from it.
I accept any friend request from recruiters/colleagues and beyond that never ever use the site.
My justification is I like getting job specs, and the cost is essentially nothing. Sure I hate that it's got a side panel asking me to connect with an old Wheel of Time fansite e-friend from Norway who was in my email contacts and I've not spoken to in some 15 years but it's hardly the end of the world.
