What the hell is an endorsement on LinkedIn?

I keep getting them, don't know what it is. I'm not up on any social media stuffs. Is it just a button you can click to say "this guy knows his shit?"

Yes.

 

[amdhunter]

Yes.

Ah, that's gay. I liked it better when stupid stuff like this doesn't exist to water profiles down.
