Why is nobody disrupting LinkedIn?

Title says it all. LinkedIn seems to be the only business "social" network left, and it is such a massive shitshow.

The UI/UX is stuck in 2004, the feed algorithm is atrocious and insufferable, and the networking stuff seems to have lost all meaning.

Come on people, build something new.

Facebook UI/UX is horrible and there it is.

People just don't move easily.

If there was some magic trigger or playbook that no name sites could come up with to get a mass quantity of migration ... that would be big news.

Maybe LinkedIn is like the B Ark of social networks? It doesn't get disrupted because it's already fulfilling its function.
