Be ready to pay up (premium, boosts, ads) or don’t count on achieving anything. Also, if you gave them money once - you’re labeled as a mark - and if you stop paying you will be punished by the algorithm until you’re ready to pony up again.

The best tip I have for getting rid of LinkedIn is a flamethrower.
#1: Don’t use LinkedIn. #2. Make connections IRL.
Use an email relay, and don’t enter many personal details. While this stuff is invisible to general users, marketers can purchase a paid linked in that allows gleaning that data and making call lists, so it will have your name, email, phone number, job description etc. This is fine if you hope somebody calls you for a job, but it also gets in the wrong hands and you get spam on your phone and email
Linkedin screens applicants using keywords and provides the results to recruiters. Scan your job market and write down all the buzzwords. Make sure they’re all in your resume.
