LinkedIn removes its top voice badges from collaborative articles
November 12, 2024
LinkedIn has announced a significant change to its collaborative articles by removing its 'Top Voice' badges. These badges were initially intended to recognize top contributors and encourage insightful contributions. However, after feedback from the LinkedIn community, the company has decided to retire the feature to foster a more inclusive environment. LinkedIn aims to encourage participation from all voices rather than highlighting only the most active ones. This shift reflects LinkedIn's focus on building a more collaborative space where everyone feels valued and motivated to contribute. The 'Top Voice' badges will officially be removed from all collaborative articles by the end of this month, and users are encouraged to continue sharing their knowledge without concerns about recognition badges.
