A peak behind the curtain. I'm an engineer at LinkedIn. Once upon a time the LONG profiles could clog the pipes. I remember sitting in a meeting once where some several hundred MB sized profile had broken things. I demanded we pull it up because at the time I was sure it had to be a spam account and I thought it'd save us some trouble to just delete it.
No... It was some retired aerospace engineer who had basically dumped his memoir into his profile page. Talked about his new hobbies in retirement like training horses and woodworking. I felt bad.
We recommended to product to add a length limit or figure out a more efficient way to store the pages. I think there's now a limit, but it's awfully large.
