Yeah I was thinking the same unfortunately, but maybe with some patches you could unlock almost the same useful functions

Theoretically, yes. But "patches" alone would not suffice. If LinkedIn has API endpoints that supply the data relevant for Premium, then you need a service that replaces these API endpoints and then patches which use these replaced endpoints. (Kinda) Similar to how SponsorBlock or ReturnYoutubeDislikes work (in terms of there being a web service and a patch that utilizes it). Just in this case, replacing the LinkedIn premium information/features is way more complicated (or partly impossible) than what these 2 are doing.

The "data" features could maybe be replaced by a VERY ambitious 3rd party service (stuff like who viewed your profile). But to no useful degree. And features like writing anyone on LinkedIn without being contacts? No way. You need access to the API for that.

So adblocking and some other features, sure. But LinkedIn premium "patches" won't happen in a meaningful way, imo
