On "LinkedIn Is Policing AI Slop, So Time to Reset"

LinkedIn's "AI slop" button is a band-aid that lets the platform dodge the actual problem: their algorithm rewards engagement over quality, and AI content games that system perfectly.

What matters now is whether LinkedIn will actually deprioritize flagged content or if this becomes a performative gesture that changes nothing in the feed. For practitioners, this is a reminder that no platform's content moderation saves you—your own editorial standards and voice are the only real moat.
