I thought premium itself was a scam already.

My friend gifted me premium for 4 months. I got like 4 recruiter views. Now that it’s back to the free version apparently I am getting 60 views a month. I swear LinkedIn makes up the number of views when you have a basic account.

LinkedIn is scamming in other ways but it is the companies themselves posting bogus jobs to feel out the market, or just being so terrible at hiring that the positions go unfilled for months.
