It has a couple options (although it depends on the ab test they run as i usually get different ones sometimes :)).

- I am not interested in the author (that my connection liked): yeah ok i have a few more hundreds thousand to mute

- I am not interested in the topic: this could be relevant, but no matter how much i click, i still get the same topic. Probably their nlp topic modelling doesn’t work great?

- This post is too old/i have seen this post before: Yeah i now have a few tens similar of these to mute

- Unfollow/remove connection (who liked the post): and this is what you are left with.

I don’t know, as somebody else mentioned, if i could train their algorithm they wouldn’t have any relevant posts to show, so they just show whatever? In any case, the feed is unreadable.
