How do you mute content on LinkedIn? I was recently trying to block a few words to improve the quality of my feed, and found that I could only “unfollow” indivi

  There's no effective way. On mobile web they limit you even more in terms of the choices of why you want to hide a post. Regardless, the algorithm seems entirely intransigent. It still shows me posts in which someone I barely know 'likes' that someone I will never meet graduated from college. I am 40, so it's not even a good guess that I would know a recent graduate (from a university I've never visited). I think they don't give ways to modify the feed because it would be nearly empty for most people once they opted out of the various post types they aren't interested in. Then people would realize there was no value and leave.

  It has a couple options (although it depends on the ab test they run as i usually get different ones sometimes :)). - I am not interested in the author (that my connection liked): yeah ok i have a few more hundreds thousand to mute - I am not interested in the topic: this could be relevant, but no matter how much i click, i still get the same topic. Probably their nlp topic modelling doesn’t work great? - This post is too old/i have seen this post before: Yeah i now have a few tens similar of these to mute - Unfollow/remove connection (who liked the post): and this is what you are left with. I don’t know, as somebody else mentioned, if i could train their algorithm they wouldn’t have any relevant posts to show, so they just show whatever? In any case, the feed is unreadable.
