Old Content, New Problems: The Decline of LinkedIn

LinkedIn consistently delivers feed content from 3 weeks ago – and even the Thanksgiving weekend.

In a digital era bouncing between “Breaking News” and the world’s complete library available across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, ancient social content is simply unacceptable.

I’ve been on LinkedIn since 2008.

The first few years were a CV directory for HRs. I remember the ghost town years where millions of people hadn’t even heard of it.

Microsoft’s acquisition did press on a content path that made sense for good. Social creators came in and actual executives, founders, entrepreneurs who were apalled by the trolls and clickbait of Facebook or Twitter moved onto LinkedIn.

End of 2023 broke some algorithmic principles. 2024 made LinkedIn a mess. This year, it’s already rendered irrelevant in many executive playbooks.

The early CV years of LinkedIn are no secret.
