Why i hate Linkedin

I rightnow had a heated dicussion with a friend why Linkedin is a shit plattfrom and why i dont like it. And i want to sum it up right now:

What i like:

LinkedIn is perfect for showcasing qualifications in a quantifiable manner. You can see where the person has worked, the languages they speak, and other qualifications. That's about it

What i hate:

I dislike the fact that you can post on LinkedIn. It has never happened to me that anyone posted something negative on LinkedIn or even slightly criticized a post. There are a bunch of ass-kissers on LinkedIn who are overly positive. Don't get me wrong, being positive is good, but all the time and everywhere, in the long run, it's just exhausting. There's no real value, just mediocre posts that aim for clout, saying stuff that sounds intelligent but most of the time is fake and aims to make them look better than they actually are. Here are some examples:
