LinkedIn is it scam ?

I am applying for Roles in Linkedinwhich I was qualified well (may be I am overhyping myself) but I am not getting shortlisted for any of the roles applying.

Is there anything I should do instead of just applying ?

Read somewhere that startups are keeping open postions on LI to make investors think that they're growing... So check the kind of companies that you're applying to

It almost never works because of the deluge of l**** who apply regardless of role fitment. The idea is to reach out to the hiring HR/manager and add a personalized note on why they should check your profile out. Only shit that works.

LinkedIn is filled with early career folks. But the worst thing is that, people who are not eligible for that role, or even know what some role is also applies for the role. The HR may end up proceeding with the first set of candidates that matches the criteria. It might more of be like,el early bird catches the worm
