The UX of LinkedIn is terrible. Once I went into a futile debate with a support person (yes, it was that ancient time couple of years ago), so I had to conclude the 'support' is even worse. I do not use it that much like when I th

My life went sideways when organizations I worked for all started to make products solely for selling and not for using those. If the product was useful for something, that was the side effect of being sellable. Not the goal.

Or maybe those making a living on selling a product claiming certain parameters should raise their voice when those parameters are not met, regardless if that product is used for space travel or turn on and off a ketle for f's sake.
