LinkedIn is something I use often, but not something I like. Could be so much better. They change features often, but not in a progressive way. It’s like bouncing backward. What frustrates most is “who viewed your profile.” Many people like to see if the company they applied to peeped them, etc. But what could be a straightforward feature now has 3 sections: VIEWERS YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN (no names), VIEWERS YOU CAN BROWSE FREE, and ALL OTHER VIEWERS (no names). Don’t they make enough on…

You’re not the main customer for LI, you’re the product.

The major paying customers for LI are companies and headhunters looking for staff. Job seekers themselves are secondary, so incentives to make the experience better for you are low.
