LinkedIn Outlines New Measures to Combat Fake Engagement
Briefly

LinkedIn is aware of engagement pods and automated engagement and is taking steps to reduce their impact. The platform reduces the reach of detected coordinated or automated engagement. LinkedIn may limit how many comments a member or a LinkedIn Page can make within a specific time period to maintain safety and professionalism. When excessive comment creation or the use of automation tools is detected, LinkedIn may limit the visibility of those comments. Enforcement is more difficult for activity coordinated off-platform. LinkedIn recognizes engagement pod services exist and is exploring additional measures to address them.
LinkedIn told me that it is aware of these concerns, and that it is taking action to address engagement pods and automated engagement. In terms of specifics, LinkedIn said that it reduces the reach of such activity when detected. To keep LinkedIn safe and professional, we may limit how many comments a member or a LinkedIn Page can make in a certain time period.
Similarly, if we detect excessive comment creation or use of an automation tool, we may limit the visibility of those comments." But again, LinkedIn has assured me that it is taking action on this. And while some of this activity is difficult for LinkedIn itself to enforce (given that it's often coordinated off-platform), LinkedIn is aware of the engagement pod services that exist, which is another area it's exploring.
