I'm watching LinkedIn throttle this post. (I don't care, but I like seeing the numbers.)

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.

I hate coming here on LinkedIn. I feel like I'm watching some of the most capable people I know lose their minds, letting language models take over their words and erase everything that once made them interesting and worth reading.

If it goes the way I've seen it before, it'll artificially cap at 1000 impressions, then someone popular sees and bumps it to 2000. I've seen these artificial caps a lot.

For the amount of active engagement this post is getting, it's obviously thoroughly throttled.

Hellsite is ridiculous.
