Why do marketers blame shadow bans when their posts flatline? 🤔 If you’ve ever felt like LinkedIn’s algorithm is out to get you, you’re not alone. From engagement pods to Top Voice conspiracies, the platform’s quirks spark more theories than a late-night Reddit scroll.

In this episode, Emma & Ruta play detective with two LinkedIn insiders—Corey Johnson, growth marketer (LinkedIn addict), and Ash Turner, ex-LinkedIn creator manager to bust myths and reveal what really moves the feed.

We get into:
✅ Engagement pods vs. genuine reach—does LinkedIn even care?
✅ Top Voice badge drama—why some big influencers get snubbed
✅ Carousels, video & clicks—how metrics hijack your content
✅ Shadow banning: myth, marketing excuse or content fail?
✅ Company pages vs. personal profiles—which one wins?
✅ Creator monetization & pay-to-play—sponsored posts explained
✅ API lock-down—why third-party tools struggle on LinkedIn

If you’ve ever wondered why your best posts get buried—or why a meme explodes while your thought pieces vanish—this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen now and crack the LinkedIn code.
