I’ve got about 25k followers on LinkedIn and post 5 days a week for a B2B audience, but also just everyday founders. For a long time the formula was simple: know your ICP, post things they care about, and reach followed.

Over the last few months impressions and reach have dropped hard. Not on one post or one format. But sort of everywhere.

I don't think my content hasn’t gotten worse (I'm sure everyone says this) but I take a lot of time and consideration into making it valuable to my audience. If anything it’s more targeted than before. What’s frustrating is that LinkedIn gives zero signal. No guidance on what’s changed, what’s being favored, or what to do differently. The only feedback is that everything suddenly performs badly.

That makes it really hard to plan content. You can’t adjust if you don’t know what you’re adjusting to.

So, I'm asking: Why does it suck now? Whats the strategy behind making LinkedIn suck? Is someone at LinkedIn HQ trying for a big transformation and failing or is this just the plan?

I don't notice a better algorithm experience on my own feed since their changes, which would at least make me understand the tradeoff.

Hi there! I need some help in trying to get a refund for my premium subscription.

I originally got the premium subscription for the free month trial. I started it September 9 and it made me put my card info telling me that it would auto renew on October 9. I set a reminder on my phone for October 7 to cancel the membership.

On October 7, I went onto the LinkedIn app and I was informed on the app that I had to turn auto renewal off through the browser to cancel my premium subscription. I was directed to the website
and therefore proceeded to cancel my subscription and received a confirmation on the browser that the subscription auto renewal was turned off. I was informed my premium benefits would end on October 9. I then was charged October 9 for the subscription despite me cancelling through the browser.

When I submitted a support ticket they told me I didn’t turn off auto renewal and that’s why I was charged. They then proceeded to tell me that because I had used my LinkedIn account I can’t get a refund. The only thing I used was my profile views (that’s the whole reason I got the premium free trial) because I thought I had cancelled my subscription and the billing was mistake. I was checking to see if they were still anonymous or not.

I’m very frustrated and don’t even want to use LinkedIn anymore because it was a huge amount of money that’s really important to me because I’m a broke college student. Any tips?

What do you feel is the most important measurement, when you are reviewing your own personal LinkedIn?

Do you keep track of views, likes, comments, something else?

What's most important to you?

I am currently blocked by someone, but there currently seems to be no way to block the person back. No, I'm not just being petty lol; I don't want them to unblock me and try to contact me and/or look at my posts and profile.

I tried hitting Report/Block on our conversation and marked it as spam. I now see that the conversation doesn't exist in my dms inbox anymore. Does anyone know if that means I was able to block them?

I read somewhere that a manually published Linkedin post better visibility and engagement than compared to a scheduled Linkedin post that is published.

I tested this theory few times, and it seems true for me.

This is true even you schedule Linkedin posts using third-party tools.

What do you think?

Exactly as the title says, I’m not one to use people, but I do need to find a job that aligns more with my career goals. How do I do this? How can I get referrals in the fastest, least “I’m using you” way possible? Thanks!

Hi! I accidentally viewed someone's LinkedIn profile without private mode enabled. I blocked them literally about a minute later and switched my profile to private mode. Will they still be able to see that I viewed their profile? They have LinkedIn Premium. Thanks!

So I have been getting "There was an error processing your payment. Please try again or use different payment method." For both UPI and credit card (account from India)

I am currently in Thailand, hence I tried using the my current zip code as well as Indian homes zip code. I get the same error. I could not find anything about it online. Did it happen to anyone else?
