LinkedIn's Algorithm Is Broken. Here's How to Fix Your Feed.

LinkedIn's algorithm doesn't show you what you need. It shows you what keeps you scrolling.

Open your feed right now and you'll see: engagement bait from people you don't know, posts from three days ago, motivational quotes that add zero value to your professional life.

The problem isn't you. It's the algorithm. And it's costing you time and opportunities.

What's Wrong With LinkedIn's Feed

LinkedIn's algorithm prioritizes engagement over relevance. This creates three major problems:

1. You See Posts From Strangers

The algorithm shows you viral posts from outside your network because they generate clicks. You're not following these people. You don't care about their content. But LinkedIn thinks engagement = value.

Meanwhile, posts from actual connections—people you deliberately chose to follow—get buried.

2. Old Content Clogs Your Feed

Posts from 2-3 days ago keep resurfacing because they got recent engagement. You're seeing yesterday's conversations when you need today's insights.

The feed becomes a recycling bin instead of a real-time professional resource.

3. Engagement Bait Drowns Out Value

"Agree or disagree?" posts, fake inspirational stories, and empty motivational quotes flood your feed because they generate comments.

Actual valuable content—industry insights, thoughtful analysis, useful resources—gets less visibility because it doesn't manipulate engagement.

Why This Matters for Productivity

LinkedIn is a professional tool, not entertainment. Your time on the platform should deliver professional value.

When your feed is broken:

• You waste time scrolling through irrelevant content

• You miss posts from people who actually matter to your goals

• You can't find valuable content to engage with

• You end up spending 45 minutes accomplishing nothing

Real productivity on LinkedIn means seeing only content that's relevant to your professional goals and engaging strategically with the right people.

How to Fix Your Feed

You can't change LinkedIn's algorithm. But you can bypass it entirely.

Create Custom Lists

Use MyFeedIn to build custom lists of people based on your professional goals:

• A list of potential clients or customers

• A list of industry leaders you want to learn from

• A list of partners and collaborators

• A list of people in your target market

When you open LinkedIn, view your custom list instead of the default feed. You'll see only posts from people who matter—no algorithm interference.

See Fresh Content Only

With MyFeedIn, you see posts chronologically—newest first. No more stumbling on 3-day-old posts. Just fresh, timely content from your curated network.

Filter by Engagement Level

Want to focus on posts that haven't gotten much attention yet? MyFeedIn lets you filter by engagement level, so you can:

• Be the first to comment (building stronger relationships)

• Support smaller voices in your network

• Avoid crowded conversations where your comment gets lost

What Changes When Your Feed Works

A curated feed transforms how you use LinkedIn:

• You spend less time. No more endless scrolling through noise.

• You engage with the right people. Every comment matters because it's on content from your target network.

• You never miss important posts. The algorithm can't hide content from people you deliberately chose to follow.

• You actually enjoy LinkedIn. When your feed shows valuable content, the platform becomes useful instead of draining.

LinkedIn doesn't have to waste your time. Fix your feed and take back control.
