I've been using LinkedIn for awhile to find jobs but it seems like Im always competing with 1000s of applicants. Is Indeed better? Last time I used Indeed, my inbox was flooded with recruiters from India.

I'm under the impression that linkedin is more tech oriented than indeed, isn't it? I don't have an answer yet, I'm also not that happy with linkedin itself. If you like their culture ycombinator backed companies postings could also be a place to look to

LinkedIn is delivering subpar experiences to both applicants and recruiters alike. They charge both sides and optimize for upsells and engagement instead of successful outcomes for clients.

A lot of people feel the same on LinkedIn, so it can feel crowded. Indeed can work well too, but it really depends on the roles and how you target them. Focus on tailoring your applications and reaching out directly to recruiters for the jobs you really want.
