These changes involve showing less low-quality content and to evaluate it, LinkedIn will use the new controls it announced last year to improve the feed experience.
With those controls, users can choose the content they don’t like through the three dots at the top right of each post.
From there, users can choose the option “I do not want to see this” to inform the team LinkedIn about content they are unwilling to see in their feeds.
“In the future, the more you use this, the more we will learn your preferences and be able to tailor your experience”
Other LinkedIn measures to reduce low-quality content
Also, to reduce the amount of low-quality content, LinkedIn will remove visibility from all posts that explicitly request or encourage user engagement in order to increase their reach on the platform.
Well, they consider that this type of content can be “misleading and frustrating” for users using LinkedIn regularly.
They are even going to reduce the number of surveys that are displayed in the feed, with the intention of showing only those that are truly relevant and useful to users.
“That means fewer surveys from people you don’t know and more from those you’re most likely to interact with from your network.”
In addition, LinkedIn has said that it will focus on showing in the feed only the most relevant information from each user’s network, where they can participate in conversions, extend their network of contacts and contribute to the development of their career.
“For example, you may not get much value from seeing a connection’s comment on someone else’s post about a job change if you don’t know that other person. That’s why we’re going to show you more specific activity from your network and where you’re most likely to join the conversation as well.”
