Ironically this site serves koko analytics, which now ignores the Do Not Track header (as per Mozilla's recommendation, mind you). See commit 6890f3c.
Thankfully uBlock Origin blocks loading the scripts.

I've come to the same conclusion (blogged about it here https://www.srcbeat.com/2023/11/linkedin-do-not-track/) after updating myself on where it's all at.
I also think about pop-ups back in the 90s/00s. Imagine if browsers sent a "No-Popups" header (or something) back then. I doubt we would have seen any change in company behaviour. Instead, it took something like Firefox to implement pop-up blocking by default (https://lwn.net/Articles/130792/).
Lmao, thanks for the share XD
We could certainly un-depricate it. It's not like we need to reinvent the wheel here as a society on this.
