I've used LinkedIn for some time and seen the site go through many, many changes. In the last six months, there's been another overhaul; one that seems to be ongoing.
One feature I find useful is the ability to see stats on how many people have viewed things that I post.
The experience on the desktop is different to mobile and to iPad. In fact, the iPad experience is clunky and not great. There's a feed lag, and it's difficult to navigate. The mobile version has the ability to see how many people have viewed updates posted. It's rudimentary and doesn't always work properly.
The mobile version says I got 100 views when in fact I had 66 (see below) on mobile but 178 on desktop.
Here are some posts and the difference in views. The difference means inaccuracy and thus hard to understand if a bit of content is popular. I normally post stories I've found that interest me and may interest my network.

***UPDATE*** It appears LinkedIn has been overhauled Yet to me it looks and feels like an utter car crash. Awful experience. Worst ever in my opinion.
