LinkedIn Down - Business Pages Not Loading

I can’t get a single business page to load this morning on LinkedIn. Is anyone else having this issue?

Discrepancy in recent reporting?

Hi all, Curious if there’s a bit of a lag or discrepancy in reporting recently on Sprout. I’m getting confused on a post that I see has about 67 engagements, but Sprout is showing wayyyy off. I’m not talking about clicking on hashtags. Any ideas?

Hashtags - Do you actually use them as a consumer?

I've been hearing mixed perspectives within the industry when it comes to hashtags. While the common advice is to include them in content, I've noticed a disconnect in practice. Whenever I ask someone, “When was the last time you actually clicked on a hashtag to explore similar content?” the response is usually a blank stare or something along the lines of, “Honestly, I can't remember.”So, from a user perspective rather than a content creator's—when was the last time you actively clicked on a hashtag to discover related content?
