Counterpoint: as it is with Facebook, the quality of your feed depends entirely on your connections and who among those connections you have chosen to mute/unfollow. I have over a 1000 connections and I've assiduously unfollowed/muted anyone in my network or adjacent to my network who posts anything that I feel is not substantial.
A sample of interactions I had recently:
Discussing cost/benefit of going for hybrid/private cloud deployments while discussing this article with another company's VP Eng: https://a16z.com/2021/05/27/cost-of-cloud-paradox-market-cap-cloud-lifecycle-scale-growth-repatriation-optimization/ https://a16z.com/2021/05/27/cost-of-cloud-paradox-market-cap...
Reminiscing over (paper) mechanical drawings from university days and reconnecting with a few colleagues I've lost touch with in the intervening 20 years.
Interior designs of some of the newer office spaces in the city that are aimed at tech startups.
Comparing notes on the "Messy Middle" of startups with another founder.
- entropic88 5y agoThis is great have you considered writing a LinkedIn article about it?
- catillac 5y agoI actually read a short post on HN about this recently. It’s here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27325735 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27325735
- freewilly1040 5y agoThat isn’t really a counterpoint. If you have to assiduously pick through a thousand connections to prevent a tide of spam from taking over your feed, it’s not a very useful tool. You could technically dig a trench with a spoon, but why would you?

- sosodev 5y agoExcept LinkedIn shares anything that people interact with. It’s almost impossible to avoid the cruft imo
- GekkePrutser 5y agoYes the more people you mute the more it starts looking for contrived stuff to fill up your timeline.
