Intentional move by Linkedin. They wanted to make it more social to make it more "sticky" and boost engagement stats. So making it feel more like social media that people routinely visit vs a static career page you only look at when you're job hunting. Hence the feed and the algorithm and the self-promotional and random topic posts. I have a dude in my feed who routinely posts about his son and things they do on weekends. It's basically facebook now.
- jmye 3y agoWhy are you still following him? Obviously LI has an incentive to add engagement, and users want interaction, but LI provides tools to help you get rid of the garbage. I am amazed by how many people adamantly refuse to use those tools.
- randycupertino 3y agoafaik I've never followed or unfollowed anyone. I just let it load and do it's thing. I guess I could unfollow him but I don't care that much to actively customize it.
