Aggressively unfollowing people that amplify meaningless posts is the key, just like with any other social network. You can block power users so no comments or likes of their posts from your network will show up in your feed. Unfortunately you cannot block companies, so any like or comment on a fake-company-posting-memes's post will result in unfollowing the person responsible directly, unless you know them personally and give them a free pass by just hiding the post this time.

Until you realize "wait, I don't actually use linkedin for much of anything. Maybe I get a recruiter that has an interesting offer (rare)"

In my experience, most people use linkedin at one time: when they are looking for a job, either to update or create their profile. Beyond that, the only people I see with any activity there are desperate recruiters, and "CEO of my own BS company" inspirational garbage content posters.
