LinkedIn (a subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation) has the worst "activity feed" algorithm I have ever seen. It is a dopamine-poking, engagement-optimizing mess.

  This would not need to be for ethical reasons. If LinkedIn can vouch for the companies on its platform, that gives it a competitive advantage.

  Just block the news feed. Here's some ublock filters: www.linkedin.com##.eah-header-item.eah-menu-trigger.ember-view.artdeco-dropdown__trigger--placement-bottom.artdeco-dropdown__trigger www.linkedin.com###voyager-feed www.linkedin.com##.pv3.news-module You won't be able to see individual updates/posts either, but just toggle off ublock when you do want to see someone's specific post. This has been huge for me to avoid all the virtue-signalling/pandering-to-the-Current-Thing crap that permeates the feed.
