A little something for the weekend? Why not clean up your feeds? After a couple of great exposé posts (holding a mirror up to a mirror) I'm proposing that you folks try this 'hack': (1) Go to your LinkedIn search box and enter "an employee asked me if he can work from home permanently" (2) Click "See all results" (3) Navigate to each 'hit' and block any user that posted the same, lame, spammy post without pointing out what was actually happening. (4) ...and relax BONUS IDEA: Instead of simply blocking each user, why not open up the 'likes' list on each one first and block those users too, or maybe even report all of them as 'bots' / fake accounts?

I found your post while doing almost the same thing. They are mostly HR people, suggesting that they all follow the same "guru" or group. Idle Saturday breakfast activity for me.

The thing is, you have to hit "...see more" to avoid blocking people who are doing a great job at trolling the copycats👇

Chris, how do you report bots? I’ve tried and failed.
