How to Hide Motivational Quotes on LinkedIn (2026)

To hide motivational quotes from LinkedIn: click ··· on any quote post → 'I don't want to see this' → 'Not relevant' (repeat consistently for two weeks to shift the algorithm). Unfollow the 5–10 accounts posting motivational content most frequently — they stay in your network, receive no notification, and their posts disappear immediately. For complete removal, install News Feed Eradicator — it replaces the LinkedIn home feed with a quote you actually chose.

The specific LinkedIn problem

The quote-over-mountain-photo post is its own genre. The “here are 5 things I’ve learned from 10 years of leadership” listicle that doesn’t contain one concrete piece of advice. The “Mondays are opportunities. Fight me.” post with 3,000 reactions.

This content performs well on LinkedIn’s algorithm because it’s emotionally unchallenging, broadly relatable, and invites easy validation reactions. It doesn’t require the reader to think; it just needs them to feel a small positive emotion and click a reaction button.

It fills the feed of anyone who hasn’t curated their connections list actively.

Method 1: Unfollow the people posting it

Most motivational content in your feed comes from a small number of prolific posters. Find them and unfollow them.

1. See a motivational post in your feed.
2. ··· → “Unfollow [Name]”.

Silent. Reversible. Takes 30 seconds per person. Their posts disappear from your feed immediately.

Do this for every motivational poster you see over the next week. 10–15 unfollows typically resolves most of the problem.

Note on pages and newsletters: If the motivational content is coming from company pages, personal brand pages, or LinkedIn newsletters you subscribed to, unfollow or unsubscribe from those via the same ··· mechanism.

Method 2: Train the algorithm

For motivational posts from people you don’t want to unfollow:

1. ··· → “I don’t want to see this” → “Not relevant”.

Apply this consistently. It takes weeks to see meaningful results, but the algorithm does respond. Pair it with unfollowing frequent posters for faster results.

Method 3: Remove the feed entirely

If motivational content is too pervasive to filter post by post, News Feed Eradicator removes the entire home feed.

The irony: News Feed Eradicator replaces your feed with an inspirational quote — one pulled from a curated, non-algorithmic list. You still get a quote. You just chose to see it, and it’s the only one you get.

LinkedIn’s job board, messages, notifications, and search all continue to work.

Install News Feed Eradicator — free, Chrome and Firefox.

What to do next

1. Open LinkedIn and unfollow every person or page you can identify as a frequent motivational poster. Aim for 10 in the next 15 minutes.
2. Use “Not relevant” on every motivational post that gets through for the next two weeks.
3. If the feed is still a problem, install News Feed Eradicator.
