Nothing. As is, LinkedIn doesn't provide anything that most people actually need, so you're safe to ditch it.
I tripled my salary thanks to LinkedIn. Wasn't even looking, just incoming reach outs. It has made a huge difference in my life. Literally life changing.
Only reason I'm there. Barely missed a fat job a recruiter got me on. Oh well. She's still looking out for me.
Plus, they send loads of job offers. Never know when I'll win the lottery.
At least in IT, it's the best place to look for jobs. I've changed twice in the last ten years, both LinkedIn recruiters (one external, one internal).
Plus most of my acquaintances are colleagues and ex-colleagues, so it's a good way to catch up from time to time (hey, you switched to XYZ, how's life going, wanna grab a coffee).
If you follow the right groups you get interesting news, memes and discussions.
Final benefit, the amount of politics is MUCH lower than Facebook, Twitter or Lemmy.
Unless you signed some exclusivity deal (rare) reach out to other recruiters and apply to job offers directly, good luck!
