With connections, it's quality over quantity-It's a Pareto thing. We know it, but don't practice it. Social media favours followers, likes. Pareto says 20% of connections are core. confirmed by Dunbar's number of 150. www.kuerate.com/blog/kuerate... #connections #quality #crm #contacts
Quality over quantity-Relationships vs Contacts

We’ve all heard it from parents and teachers over the years: “It’s quality, not quantity, that matters.” Yet somehow, in the age of social media, that wisdom has been cast aside. Today, the metric is numbers, followers, likes, etc. Social platforms are engineered for scale, not substance. And then wonder when we feel overwhelmed, distracted, and fuzzy.Quality over quantity-Relationships vs Contacts
Take LinkedIn, for example. According to Ecosia, the average user has around 1,300 connections. I checked my own stats—at 1,200, I’m pretty much right on the mark.

But what does that actually mean for me?

1-In theory, more connections mean more amplification. Post a comment and it reaches your first-degree network, then the algorithm pushes it further. Validation comes in the form of likes and comments.

2- It’s great and affordable marketing. That’s how you push a brand or a product out into the world.

3- But on LinkedIn, a connection is just a name, a title, and a company. No context. No history. No sense of who they really are or why they matter to you. They’re just a line on a screen. And that’s what we call a ‘connection’? It feels hollow.4- We have conflated between ‘contacts’ and ‘relationships’—and they are not the same thing.

So I ran an experiment. I exported my LinkedIn connections into ‘Kuerate (

https://www.kuerate.com)’

and reviewed them using a simple framework:

- Do I actually ‘know’ this person? Have we met, engaged, or built any rapport? - Does this connection impact my work or life—today or in the future? - What would change if I removed them from my network?You can probably guess where this led. Two powerful principles came into play:

a). The Pareto Principle – 20% of my connections were meaningful. I could realistically reduce my network by 80% and land at under 200 meaningful contacts.

b). Dunbar’s Number – Anthropologist Robin Dunbar suggests that ~150 relationships is about our cognitive limit for genuine connection. Fascinating stuff.

That was my aha moment: focus on quality, not quantity.

And that’s when I fully embraced Kuerate. Importing my LinkedIn contacts turned into one of the most rewarding exercises I’ve done. Suddenly, I could add context to every person—classify them (colleague, prospect, friend), add notes, rank by priority, and organize into lists. My contacts finally had meaning. I could visualize my network, reconnect with long-forgotten people, and actually nurture relationships again.

Liberating. Fruitful. And long overdue.

Here’s to the core 20%. Love it.

This shift has also changed the content I share. On LinkedIn, my message is broader, more professional. On Kuerate, it’s deeper, more personal—and that’s exactly how it should be

It's confirmed- Linkedin is AI first. The core purpose has changed. LinkedIn has jumped onto AI bandwagon. Content reach at an all-time low. .From algorithm to AI?. Is Linkedin transitioning towards Gen Z? #dataprivacy #verification #linkedin app.kuerate.com/posts/cms3w8...
It's confirmed- Linkedin is AI first

If you were wondering what has happened to your Linkedin content and stats, then a dedicated Linkedin expert has confirmed what is happening. Lynnaire Johnston is a Executive Visibility Strategist, "I help senior corporate leaders build executive visibility, LinkedIn strategy and AI-driven discoverability through content and strategic digital positioning."

In her recent post, she mentioned:

"LinkedIn has jumped on the AI bandwagon. Principally, that means AI is now doing lots of the heavy lifting when it comes to who sees our posts. That’s a good thing because LinkedIn’s algorithm seems hell-bent on ensuring no one sees our content anymore, reducing reach to all-time lows"

This raises a lot of questions, like:
🔷 With reach is so low will people stop posting?
🔷 If the answer is yes and quality posts disappear from our feeds, will people abandon LinkedIn altogether?
🔷 And if people do that will it reduce competition in the feed, giving those who hang in greater reach, or does it not work like that anymore?

2026 may turn out to be a watershed year for LinkedIn. We’ve certainly seen a lot of change in a short space of time.

LinkedIn's core purpose has changed.

That's a bold claim to make, I know, but for members who've lived through the LinkedIn-for-jobs era, then the content-for-business era, the latest iteration may be the most significant.
LinkedIn is no longer an algorithm-first platform; it's an AI-first platform."
end quote

It's entirely possible, and likely that Linkedin is transitioning to go after the Insta, Tik-tok crowd, i.e Gen Z and onwards. It means that the pre-Gen-Z crowd who used Linkedin for content, networking and building a profile will have to look elsewhere. Times are a changing.

Spam and Slop. Like junk food, it looks delectable and tastes great, but it’s not good for the body or mind. How to reduce spam and AI slop. Consider quality over quantity. Try Kuerate. app.kuerate.com/posts/cmru2f... #dataprivacy #verification #aislop #spam
Spam and Slop.

That’s what’s on the menu today, …actually every day. Like junk food, it looks delectable and tastes great with it’s MSG filled ingredients. But, alas, it’s not good for the body and definitely not for the mind. For many of us, it has reached tipping point. Our inboxes are filled everyday with spam and now our social platforms are groaning with slop and “targeted” content.

Approximately 392 billion emails are sent and received worldwide every day in 2026, according to Statista's series. Over 160 billion of those daily emails are spam, representing nearly 46% of all global email traffic. Only about 44% of all emails actually reach an inbox.
Executives and C-suite leaders receive 150–200+ emails per day, according to 2025 workplace data
This is why many executive outreach guides now recommend 'direct mail' over email for reaching C-suite leaders—it achieves a 91% open rate versus email's 20–30%, precisely because executives are so overwhelmed by their inboxes.

Combined with other online content, the proliferation of spam and AI-generated content represents one of the most consequential shifts since the advent of social media, and undermines trust, degrades user experience, and reshapes the economics of online attention.

Add in the complete abandonment over your data privacy by the popular professional networks, and it may explain why anxiety levels and low trust are pervasive and could be just as bad as the MSG delicacy you had for lunch. Yummy, but a price will be paid.

It is time for a quieter, values based professional network,  where quality over quantity counts, and your data privacy matters. Want to reduce spam, and have an approach that minimises noise, then lets speak.
