There are more people wanting to motivate than the number of people who want to get motivated.

If you are one of the people who don't want to get motivated, then unfollow the influencer.

However, you said that the number of people wanting to motivate is greater than people who want to get motivated. You also said LinkedIn don't assess the authenticity of your work experience, even if you put a fake one it will still be included in your profile. But, aren't you doing the same? You stated a conclusion that compares the no. of people on this and that, without conducting surveys, or other supporting methods. Is it just a tantrum then?

LinkedIn lets you add work experience, and they will accept it right away. However, you can take some skill assessments directly in the app to at least support your posted work experience. Recruiters might skip your profile if you don't have these supporting assessment, or they will contact you to take their own assessment.

LinkedIn showcases your profile to recruiters, and let's you be updated with your connections. It does not serve as a measure of your real capability or if you are fit t o a certain position. That is the job of recruiters.
