The sudden drop in visibility and strange content surfacing on LinkedIn isn’t a bug; it’s a signal of something deeper.
If your LinkedIn timeline suddenly feels dated and irrelevant, you’re not the only one who thinks so. Professionals are voicing growing frustration as the platform’s feed floods with stale updates, recycled posts, and oddly quiet responses to fresh content. For many, it feels like engagement has fallen off a cliff.
The shift appears to be part of LinkedIn’s broader effort to combat the rise of generic, mass-produced content, much of which has been generated with help from AI tools. But the results have been messy. Creators say high-quality posts are being throttled while old engagement bait clogs the feed.
