I am still making money from LinkedIn but my niche is a little difficult to get into, so yeah there's not much competition.
In my opinion LinkedIn is worth putting effort into, but things have changged. It seems that rather than attempting to catch up with the algoriithm, it is better to provide useful information, share actual stories, and interact with other people's posts on LinkedIn.
I think it is more about consistency than chasing the algorithm. I have generally found that posts that share real experiences or usefful insights get better engagement than overly promotional ones. Being real and postting on other people stuff seems to help with visibility over time as well.
LinkedIn is still a functional social media platform, but the strategy has shifted. Posting at random would not really get you very far; people seem to be responiding more positively to hearing about your experiences, anecdotes, and lessons learned from the job.
