Because on LinkedIn everyone is sucking up to prospective employers. That's the one and only reason it exists.

Because of this everyone uses their real identity. And because of that it's also the most boring and fake social media platform around.

It's both pretty tightly tied to real identity and mostly public. Add to that, like it or not, it's heavily used by recruiters, etc. for professional jobs.

yeah, but don't the recruiters check Twitter/FB profiles too?

A lot of Twitter handles are anonymous. And, if you're not connected as a friend, you're basically not going to see anything about or from me on Facebook.

LinkedIn is definitely the go to place to check people out for professional purposes.

The trolls haven't upped their game yet.
