Social media thrives on the network effect - the more people engage, the more valuable the platform becomes. However, this delicate balance between advertising, recommended content, and genuine updates from people you follow has shifted.
For many, the LinkedIn experience has deteriorated, filled with irrelevant suggestions, intrusive ads, and distractions that bury the content that actually matters. When this balance breaks, users disengage, and some eventually leave altogether.
That’s why CleanedIn was born.
CleanedIn puts you in control, allowing you to declutter your feed:
• Tired of TikTok-style suggested videos? Gone.
• Don’t care about work anniversaries, corporate fluff, or irrelevant celebrations? Gone.
• Want to focus on meaningful updates without the noise? Done.
With CleanedIn, you decide what stays and what goes, bringing back a cleaner, more focused experience - one that serves your interests, not the platform’s algorithm.
If you want to beta test my new Chrome Extension (also working in Brave, which I recommend!), leave a comment.
I will only accept a handful of beta testers for now, and only 1st degree connections.
PS: a poll from Brian Clifton revealed just how much people want this.
