LinkedIn is already indistinguishable from Facebook. Feels like a dead platform with no purpose.

Congratz on new cat Mike!

Dead platform with no purpose? I’ll assume you aren’t in management or the job market then

I don't think they'd be well served to, in the same way that the main Facebook app isn't merged with Instagram (although they can share some logins/etc).

They're targetting different demographics, and are used very differently (Job searching vs short-form videos).
