Deep dives
Dislike for LinkedIn Pods
LinkedIn pods are groups that users join to artificially boost engagement by mutually liking and commenting on each other's posts. This tactic may provide a quick spike in post interactions, but it limits exposure to a narrow audience, as participants are often just trying to gain engagement rather than connect authentically with potential clients. Consequently, the impact of engagement from these pods tends to plateau, and users may eventually find themselves reaching the same circle of individuals who are also part of these pods. The long-term effectiveness is questionable, with little to no return on investment for those paying to be involved, leading to a preference for organic engagement on the platform.
