That's untrue. I unfollow everyone (I follow 0 people) and I still get crazy news feed posts to look at. I wrote a custom ublock origin style to make the feed invisible.

I've been using these since 2024. Use at your own risk.
No, LinkedIn is specifically and uniquely terrible. Some people enjoy x, nobody enjoys LinkedIn.
Oh look, sureveillance capitalist says you're holding it wrong.

The people complaining are the ones that used it in the early 2000s when it was useful (ie not social network and marketing crap) and you didn’t need to spend 80% of your time cleaning it up just so it’s useful again. It’s truly like a game of whack-a-mole now.
As with X or any other social media site, LinkedIn is what you make of it. You can either curate your feed to filter out noise or you can whine about the masses doing whatever it takes to find a better job while pretending that you're above self-promotion.
