Ask HN: Does LinkedIn create fake likes using your profile?

by argella on 1/25/23, 12:20 AM with 1 comments

A while back I noticed a bunch of "likes" in my linkedin activity section. Things I didn't remember hitting "like" on. I assumed these were all mistaken clicks while browsing on my phone, but was suspicious.

So I logged out and went a couple of months without touching linkedin. Upon returning I noticed a bunch of "likes" again.

I don't think anyone else is accessing my account, so am left thinking that linkedin is doing this to promote content. It's super annoying because some of them were things I would never hit "like" on.

    I haven't "liked" anything on LinkedIn for over 7 years and LinkedIn hasn't liked anything for me.

    I suggest changing your password.
