What is it about Linkedin that you hate or wish it improved upon?

Every now and then I see people complaining about Linkedin on twitter and other places. I am curious if Linkedin has added any benefits to your professional career? What is it about the platform that you don't like. What other substitute products do you use when it comes to professional networking?

    The spam and data collection they do are absolutely criminal.

    Also unusable without an account.

    I wish there was a way to ask questions to people who work in a certain field and get relevany responses. Groups are graveyards and have little discussion.

    And since people’s time is not free, I would love an advertising product where I can survey these people and get paid per response.

    I wish it'd be less bloated, the web-app is quite heavy
