At least LinkedIn (the company) got over their initial love affair with video. There was a time when my LinkedIn feed was 80% videos of people sitting in their cars over-sharing directly to the camera… because that is what “the algorithm” wanted most to promote. I basically avoided LinkedIn for months (maybe years? can’t remember) as that was going on.
But yeah. Even without the videos, the LinkedIn timeline is a pretty soulless place.
I think these algorithms should just die. Facebook was actually good when the feed was just all the things my friends had posted, nothing more nothing less. But then they started tinkering with algorithms and trying to find stuff I liked. Well they don't know me yhat's for sure. I had to weed through pages of crap to find one interesting bit. Glad to be off it now but LinkedIn is harder to let go.
