Yep. I never click on website profiles when I know that the person can see the visits. The good thing about LinkedIn is you can turn that off, but even then, I notice it adds the person to the suggested users list after a month or so (I wonder if it adds me to their suggested list?).
There's lots of reasons why I don't want people to know. Like for example, a friend works at company x, so every so often I look at other employee profiles at company x to see if he joined LinkedIn (and is therefore in their connections).
Just harmless stuff like that, which might look sinister to someone who doesn't know the context.
With my experience, LinkedIn will say that you are an anonymous user or give me a list of 15 people to guess who you are. I also don't think the people recommendations algorithm includes whose profile you visit.

with a paid account the information is a lot more detailed and definitely identifies specific people.
I have a paid account. It only identifies specific people if those people allow that.
