There should be no personal updates. Updates should be from individuals but relating to industry, e.g. making an announcement, asking for advice, promoting a job opening, discussing an industry topic. There should be no updates of a personal nature e.g. I got up at 4am and took my disabled child to school after getting them an ice cream, please upvote my demonstration of effort.

Very hard to moderate that. Personal vs professional can also be subjective. If you're an influencer, what's the difference? Should you then be banned from the platform?

Well, probably?

It's subjective, but since there is some scale (from personal to professional), couldn't there be a way to classify this and filter it out? That would be a cool feature.
