Linkedin is a special kind of shit. It even constantly scans for thousands of plugins.

LinkedIn has aggressive anti-bot features. I wouldn’t be surprised if most of that 2.4G is that

I know but I think it's more of a 'feature' to prevent recruiters and advertisers from avoiding their overpriced subscriptions and scrape data.

Knowing that doesn't make LinkedIn a better platform in my eyes, on the contrary. It's more an 'if you pay you can do whatever you want' kinda thing.
