Hahaha. I don't know. I think it's less cagey about its norms and conventions than other social platforms. And because there's a professional element to it, people are generally on best behavior. I find both of those things kind of refreshing? But, I hear you. All opinions welcome here. Especially yours.
you're right about the norms/conditions being more out in the open and easier to understand. I do think the incentive structure is very similar though and rewards a certain type–not necessarily negative–behavior.
I'd counter your openness of the norms of the platform with what I perceive to be people's hesitance to be fully forthright because it is in fact a professional network. For example, if you've ever read r/antiwork or r/recruitinghell on reddit, I'd consider those the polar opposite of LinkedIn in terms of willingness to share the real downsides (admittedly, sometimes exaggerated) of work/jobs.
I refuse to LinkedIn is cool! Cool people posting there, sure.
