They really are being written by computers, anyway. Especially in Germany, where they throw your application out if they find a grammatical error, but you have to apply to a gazillion companies, to get a job.

Tragedy of the commons. Videos showing you how to use AI to up your profile and game to get noticed by recruiters. Recruiters using AI to filter in the most high signal, from AI.
Self reinforcing race to the bottom. I'm staying away from it as long as possible.

Do you think they even realize that the people they're looking for are the people most cynical about and turned-off by the automated application process because we know how to build the same type of automated application process? 😂

100%. It's just throwing apps at the wall and seeing what sticks. It's terrible for "placement" if that makes sense.
I'll keep doing it, and working where I can as long as I can until I figure out what to do myself, or someone finds me. It's worked for me once before.
I'm so glad I can take a test for my jobs... LOL none of this BS
