A few weeks ago, LinkedIn introduced a "This looks like AI slop" button and to linkedIn's credit, my feed has been a lot better since that happened.

There's still some going around of course, but it's far less than the endless stereotypical linkedIn chum in the feed that there was.

I don't know if engaging with that button means I'm less likely to be served such content, or whether it's cleaning up everyone's feeds.

The worst were the ones starting, "I had a client phone me up", and when you'd look at the profile they wouldn't even obviously have such clients, and certainly wouldn't be the obvious person to call in that scenario.

I can't imagine being that shameless, and just to boost an artificial reach.

Wow, I didn't notice that, thanks for pointing it out.

I would guess it's both cause I've been having less AI slop on LinkedIn for the past few weeks (yet not none).
