You are given an unsorted array of integers. Describe an algorithm to find the length of the longest consecutive sequence of elements in the array. The consecutive elements do not need to be adjacent in the array. What is the time complexity of your solution? Can you optimize your solution to achieve O(n) time complexity? Explain your approach and provide the optimized code. Example: Given the array [100, 4, 200, 1, 3, 2], the longest consecutive sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4]. The length of this sequence is 4. Your algorithm should return 4. Constraints: The input array can contain positive and negative integers. The input array may contain duplicate values. The algorithm should handle edge cases such as an empty array. Explain your approach, provide pseudocode if necessary, and then implement your solution in a language of your choice. A brute force solution is acceptable but should be followed by the optimized solution.

Let's design the LinkedIn feed. Consider the user experience, key features, scalability, and personalization aspects. For instance, how would you prioritize content from connections versus suggested content? How would you handle different content types like text, images, videos, and articles? How do you design a system to ensure that the feed remains responsive even with millions of active users? How would you personalize the feed to show users content they are most likely interested in, and what data would you use to achieve this personalization? Finally, how would you prevent the spread of misinformation or harmful content within the feed?
