LinkedIn job postings to be taken seriously? Or wasting my time?

Until recently, my assumption was that applying to jobs posted on LinkedIn was a waste of time. If it's easy to do ("Easy Apply", etc.), there must be lots of spam and insane competition for the actually relevant roles.

What have your experiences been? Ever landed a good job there?

PS: Not talking about HF roles specifically (as my title suggests), but competitive roles more broadly (finance, tech, corporate, ...).
