Company pages are followed separately from people, and most accounts have collected dozens without noticing: an employer, a few recruiters’ clients, every company whose post you once reacted to.

Go to My Network, then Manage my network, then Companies. This is a different list from Following, which holds people, and neither one shows the other.
That separation is why unfollowing people does not quieten the feed as much as expected. Half the noise is usually pages.
Applying for a job through LinkedIn can follow the company for you. So can taking part in a page’s post. Nothing ever removes them, so the list only grows.
A page you followed for one job application five years ago is still posting into your feed today.
Each row has an Unfollow button, one click each, and the list re-renders as you go. For a few pages that is fine.
For a long list, Unpend has Companies as one of its five cleanup surfaces. Open the page, press Start, and it works through the list for you. The Network Manager will also load every page you follow into a table so you can search it and keep the handful that are worth keeping.
Before clearing everything, it is worth loading the list somewhere you can read it. Your current employer, your customers and two or three publications are usually worth keeping; the other ninety are not.
This is the argument for picking from a table rather than running a blanket unfollow: the useful ones are a small, identifiable minority.
No. Page admins see follower counts, not the identity of anyone who unfollows.
Applying for a job through LinkedIn and interacting with a page’s posts can both add a follow automatically. Nothing removes them later.
The effect is the same, but the lists are separate. Companies live under My Network, Manage my network, Companies; people live under Following.
