From 29 February LinkedIn will replace the People Also Viewed feature with Other Similar Profiles.

People Also Viewed is a feature on LinkedIn that helps members build their networks. It was designed to help find relevant members you may consider connecting with. 

LinkedIn is improving the quality of the recommendations presented with a new feature: Other Similar Profiles. The People Also Viewed feature and its setting will no longer be available. 

Other Similar Profiles will be enabled for all members and will not have a setting where you can turn off its display.
