that is basically evil, as every social media platform started with VC money in the 2010s is, and one of the incredibly smart (evil) features that preys on academic insecurity/vanity is that it will tell you every time someone finds your profile through a search engine but won't tell you anything about the searcher (known if they also have an account on the site) unless you pay for a premium plan, and of course i am never going to do that but i love moments like this when i get a notification like "yoooo a gray smudge from Australia really wanted to know your deal last night"
