LinkedIn posts flagged as AI see 40% impression drop, pushing gurus to post media with no captions

Alex Banks observes a counterintuitive shift on LinkedIn: after the platform introduced AI content flags, it reported roughly a 40% drop in impressions for flagged posts. The result is that the classic formula—infographic plus zero-shot ChatGPT caption—is dying. Posters now strip captions down to almost nothing, letting the media float alone to dodge the penalty. Quoting Munger's "show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome," he notes that caption-less posts are becoming the new normal for LinkedIn gurus.
