I used to post a ton on there. Super thoughtful posts on product and organizational culture. What people need to do good work.

Then they started throttling posts. Anything with links, anything anti-AI or anti-LinkedIn posts usually gets murdered by the algorithm.

And now it's just people vs the algorithms trying to play the game. AI vs AI trying to get ahead.

I didn't want to see my content next to the slop, so I stopped making the content. Stopped having insightful conversations with the people who wanted to talk about our mutual interests.

The platform is exhausting.

@mayintoronto it seems like their silly algorithm isn't perfect, my post against broad adoption of AI attracted a lot of likes and comments - it doesn't hurt to try to sabotage the system

Sent you a connect as well. I think we need more people in this fight.
