Scrolling LinkedIn doesn't work

Using v1.13.6
(latest update as of this issue)

Was scrolling LinkedIn on web browser to test functionality, and Zeeschuimer doesn't seem to pick up any data from posts on the 'Home' page. Zeeschuimer does seem to collect the post's data if the individual post is clicked on and opened in a new tab, but obviously this reduces the mass-scraping effect greatly.

I'm unsure if the LinkedIn feature on Zeeschuin was intended to capture data from scrolling the video feed page instead, as I know that was a very engaging feature until it was removed last year. The latest update occurred after it was removed though, so I don't want to assume that this was not taken into account by the developers.

Hi @marwhal-maker, thanks for reporting this. We are aware of the issue - LinkedIn has changed the structure of their data in the data communication Zeeschuimer extracts it from, in such a way that it is no longer compatible with the Zeeschuimer code. Unfortunately the new format is quite byzantine/complex and restoring functionality is not trivial. It may be a while before we manage to do so and we may make the LinkedIn module inactive in the meanwhile to avoid confusing people.

Though for anyone reading this, PRs are always welcome ;)
