Yes!
LinkedIN is such an abusive product. The amount of dark patterns baked in is NUTS! Let alone the privacy policies, which they do not care about. To unsubscribe to all notifications, you need to click probably 100 times. You need to be very careful to make sure you're not baited into importing all your contacts (I removed the app to avoid this), it won't let you do basic stuff, limit what you can do. It's not like the product is even good. I was on LinkedIn at the very beginning and the UI has barely evolved once, just a few years ago, and it's been just a bad product all that time (just check how bad the chat is). I wish we had other options and I for one hope X jobs section will stick, because we NEED a replacement. StackOverflow once had an amazing opportunity to replace it by offering to look for profiles on it and advertise jobs and I loved it so much, found most of my team back then using StackOverflow jobs board. They stupidly turned that feature off, and now they're dying, trying to revive the jobs board, but the world has changed since then, and StackOverflow is becoming irrelevant. Biggest blunder of their lifetime, if you ask me. They could have replaced LinkedIn. Wish they had. The product is so good, despite being ugly.
