Does anyone else feel like LinkedIn is biased in the articles that are promoted? I always see posts/articles putting down competitors, but posts such as those containing negative reactions on RTO for Microsoft never seem to make it to my feed. Wondering if it's just me. Insight from LinkedIn engineers is welcome.
The only way it could be unbiased is if LinkedIn never had software teams work on content feed. Impossible. So, definitely biased. Only question is, how biased is it?
The only time i have to go to linkedin is when i wanna connect with someone i know professionally. They could remove thr feed and i wouldnt card as long as the messaging works. Linkedin feed is pure cringe.
They’re doing sentiment analysis and promoting content that is more positive rather than negative. It’s better for their customers (hiring companies) that way. If you want to look at negative stuff, you’re on the right platform here!
The thing that makes me doubt this is I've noticed negative content consistently appearing on the top of my feed for many other companies.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they are trying to protect their parent company
