Anyone else frustrated by all the noise on Searchfunder lately?

Has anyone else noticed their feed getting a bit noisier lately? I’m seeing more low-quality or spammy posts e.g., blank updates, repetitive pitches from intermediaries, and questionable “opportunities” that seem more like ads than value-add content. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made some great connections here and still find a lot of value in Searchfunder. But I joined mainly to learn from and connect with other searchers - not to get constantly pitched. It would be great to have tools to customize the feed more: filtering by user type (e.g., searcher, broker, lender) or even unfollowing specific users (similar to LinkedIn) without removing them completely. That way you can still control who you engage with, without losing visibility on higher-signal content. Anyone else feeling the same? Or found a good way to manage the noise?

I see a lot people selling pickaxes and not a lot of gold. I think there is a football team named after the stage we are currently at in this economic movement. :)
