A few weeks ago, LinkedIn introduced a "This looks like AI slop" button and to linkedIn's credit, my feed has been a lot better since that happened. There's still some going around of course, but it's far less than the endless stereotypical linkedIn chum in the feed that there was. I don't know if engaging with that button means I'm less likely to be served such content, or whether it's cleaning up everyone's feeds.…

same, also what I noticed

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> I don't know if engaging with that button means I'm less likely to be served such content, or whether it's cleaning up everyone's feeds. I would guess it's both cause I've been having less AI slop on LinkedIn for the past few weeks (yet not none).

Why are you guys still looking at the feed is the real question.

I like to keep track of where my former colleagues have gone so I can feel bad about where I'm at.

A genuine question for the people here, I am just a college student so maybe I am missing something, but does anybody actually browse through linkedin? The only times I actually open it up is when either I did something that I would like to remember when I update my Resume at a later date, or when my friends text me to open it up and like their post :)

The daily puzzle games have more worth than the average linkedin post.

Too bad the thought leader is spewing 500 Internal Server Error. "Oops! Our thought leadership engine is experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again." isn't something I'm proud to post to Slack.

I don't add people to my network to reduce the noise. I don't pay but get "requests" for software development that are not personally directed, so I delete those. Any job advertisement I am notified about is closed by the time I click on it, within seconds of the email. Any misspelt ad is a phishing crime in the making.

Maybe I should give them money :)
