#buildinpublic Day 72 - LinkedIn will be our main source of leads going forward...but lawdy do I hate the algorithm. #marketing

I recently got on LinkedIn too and for the same reason and I think I cracked the code for it. Its algo is actually really simple - most of the time it shows you things people you follow interact with. And it turns out that if you unfollow everyone and then very very slowly choose only the people

whose taste you trust you get a great feed. I'm following 4 or 5 people right now - you're one of them! And my feed is a delight now. Much better than either on X or Bluesky actually. And the notification controls are much more granular too.

Haha you're crazy for doing that. You might be onto something though. I'm pretty tempted to follow in your footsteps. I worry that I'll offend people unfollowing them honestly.
