Inside LinkedIn’s Brain: How the Algorithm Really Thinks with Richard van der Blom

LinkedIn reach is down up to 60 percent and most creators do not know why. In this workshop, Richard van der Blom reveals what the algorithm actually rewards now, and what quietly kills your reach.

👆 The clip above is a free preview. The full 60-minute workshop with Richard van der Blom is available to paid members of Unsubscribe.

If you’ve felt like LinkedIn “doesn’t work” the way it used to, you’re not crazy. Richard van der Blom broke down exactly what’s changed inside the algorithm, why reach is down, and what actually drives visibility in 2026 .

Richard has analyzed millions of posts over the last five years through his annual LinkedIn Algorithm Report. In this workshop, he unpacked what’s real, what’s myth, and what you need to adjust right now.

We covered:

  • What “360 Brew” actually means and how LinkedIn now builds interest clusters instead of prioritizing your network

  • Why deep topic clarity matters more than hashtags

  • Why reach has dropped up to 60 percent for many creators, and why that is not necessarily a bad thing

  • The shift from dwell time to consumption rate and why long carousels now underperform

  • Why AI copy-paste posts are being flagged and how credibility scoring works

  • The truth about external links and why hiding them in comments no longer works

  • Why saves and reposts now matter more than likes

  • How a single thoughtful comment can outperform a six-hour post

He also explained why engagement strategy might now matter more than content strategy.

Richard’s LinkedIn Algorithm Report is something I buy each time it comes out, so if you’re interested in it, you can find it here. IMO, well worth the research he puts in.

Cheers,
Justin
