How to Hide Hustle Culture Posts on LinkedIn (2026)

To hide hustle culture posts on LinkedIn: click ··· on any hustle post → 'I don't want to see this' → 'Not relevant'. For people who post hustle content regularly, click ··· → 'Unfollow [Name]' — they stay in your network, receive no notification, and their posts disappear from your feed permanently. For complete feed removal, install News Feed Eradicator — it replaces the entire LinkedIn home feed with a quote while leaving messages, jobs, and notifications intact.

Why this is harder than it should be

The “I worked 18 hours a day and here’s what I learned” post is LinkedIn’s version of engagement bait. It generates comments (“So inspiring!”), which generates more reach, which means the algorithm shows it to more people who didn’t ask for it.

LinkedIn’s engagement mechanics favor high-reaction content over professionally useful content. A post about a genuine industry insight gets fewer comments than a post about personal sacrifice and hustle. So the feed fills with the latter.

You can’t turn off hustle content with a single toggle. But you can remove it from your specific feed in about 15 minutes.

Method 1: Unfollow the people posting it

This is the fastest and most effective approach. 80% of hustle content in your feed probably comes from 10–15 people. Unfollow them all.

How to do it from a post:

1. See a hustle post in your feed.
2. Click ··· in the top-right corner of the post.
3. Select “Unfollow [Name]”.

Done. No notification is sent. Their posts stop appearing immediately.

How to do it from a profile:

1. Go to their profile.
2. Click “Following” (or the connection button) → “Unfollow”.

You remain 1st-degree connected. You can still message each other, appear in each other’s searches, and interact on other posts. The only thing that changes is their posts don’t appear in your feed.

Spend 15 minutes doing this for your top 10–15 hustle posters. Most people find this resolves the problem significantly.

Method 2: Signal “Not relevant” to the algorithm

For posts from people you don’t want to unfollow, use LinkedIn’s built-in feedback mechanism:

1. Click ··· on the post.
2. Select “I don’t want to see this”.
3. Choose “Not relevant” as the reason.

LinkedIn’s algorithm will gradually reduce similar content. It’s not instant — expect it to take weeks of consistent signaling before you notice a meaningful shift. But it works cumulatively.

Note: This is not a replacement for unfollowing frequent posters. It’s best for reducing occasional posts from people in your network who mostly post useful content but occasionally share hustle material.

Method 3: News Feed Eradicator — remove the feed entirely

If hustle content is pervasive enough that filtering specific posts feels like whack-a-mole, News Feed Eradicator is the complete solution.

It replaces your LinkedIn home feed with an inspirational quote. Everything else remains:

• LinkedIn messages
• Job board (/jobs)
• Notifications
• Profile pages and search
• Company pages and groups

Install it and try a week without the feed. Most people find they get more done in LinkedIn — they arrive with a specific purpose (check messages, search jobs, look someone up), do it, and leave.

Install News Feed Eradicator — free, Chrome and Firefox.

What to do next

1. Spend 10 minutes unfollowing the 10 people in your feed whose posts you most often dread. This is the highest-leverage action.
2. Use “I don’t want to see this” → “Not relevant” on hustle posts from people you want to keep following.
3. If the feed is still a problem after a week, install News Feed Eradicator and try a month without it.
