    I should design a userscript that completely removes the “social” feed of LinkedIn. Then I might actually use it, without being bombarded by the weirdest narcissistic attention seeking behavior I’ve ever seen.

      For now anyway you can use ublock to blow away:

      • the promoted inane shit
      • this fucker liked this inane thing
      • et al

      Use the picker to select the element for the promoted and step up until you find =“promoted” in the selector. This works for the other bullshit they try and shove down your throat and your feed will be 98% less shitty.

      Good on ya. I think I would rather literally be hunted by dogs than engage with LinkedIn as a serious platform.

      I just don’t scroll through the feed at all. I spend around 5 minutes on linkedin in a week just to check connection requests and that’s all my usage.

      I can’t set foot in LinkedIn. By virtue of having been in tech since 1997, my direct relations include a lot of C level execs from recognizable names. All I get the moment I log in is spam from sales people, recruiters, hustlers, etc. It is just desperate in there.
