LINKEDIN PRIORITIZES A BETTER FEED EXPERIENCE
Last week, LI announced changes and updates designed to improve the usefulness of its feed.

First, the platform rolled out two new controls that let users filter what they do and don’t want to see in their feed. Plus a new way to follow people from within the feed. 

Next, the algorithm has been updated to show people “more targeted activity” from their network, so they’ll have more opportunities to join conversations that matter to them.

Finally, LI took aim at low-quality content. The new algorithm will downrank content that encourages others to engage via likes or reactions, and will be showing fewer polls created by people you don’t know in favor of polls created by people in your network.

To learn more about these updates, read the full article from LinkedIn.
