Edit LinkedIn “Talks About” section in Creator Mode?


Since I cannot find a way to contact LinkedIn directly, I figured that I'd just share it on Hacker News, hoping that someone from LinkedIn actually reads this, or perhaps some other lucky member of Hacker News stumbles upon this post and gets to provide me with their own personal insight.

Using the web app of LinkedIn, in Chrome, on a Mac, prior to rebooting the system, reinstalling my operating system, or reconfiguring my router, and rebooting it as well, I find it impossible to actually edit the "Profile topics" section of my profile, a.k.a. "Talks About" in the UI.

To be clear, I can seem to boolean toggle existing topics on / off, but can't delete or edit. I've also got five topics in there, which is the maximum allowed for my account, and I wish to edit one.

Interested if anyone else has the dilemma, or potentially knows of a fix without having to summon the fire god.

I'm honestly kind of surprised with this big AI push and content scraping, and since Microsoft owns LinkedIn, anyway, that this information can't be automatically figured out to begin with.
