LinkedIn has been employing a lot of strange dark patterns recently:

* Overriding scroll speed on Firefox Web. Not sure why.

* Opening a profile on mobile web, then pressing back to go to last page, takes me to the LinkedIn homepage everytime.

* One of their analytic URLs is a randomly generated path on www.linkedin.com, supposedly to make it harder to block. Regex rules on ublock origin sufficiently stop this.

Anyone know why they could be doing this?
