Apologies! That was not my intended takeaway, rather that old ways of finding work no longer, well … work. So being able to throttle such traffic is akin to having a power bill that only guarantees lighting.

Are you arguing that it’s easier to find a job now than it was 15 years ago? Because I sure do read a lot about endless series of interviews that go nowhere and job offerings being posted that aren’t even intended to be filled just to seem like a company is ‘growing’.

Yeah, that makes sense!I’ve typically found that most of the opportunities I run into that have some promise are through connections more often than directly applying somewhere. Whether that be for housing, jobs, or whatever.
That or like local places that want local hires; but the bigger the job pool the iffier.
Funny how we seem to be learning across the board, in every sector, that the thing we’ve all been sold on being a measure of positive economic activity is actually incredibly toxic to ever being able to have anything nice.

I’m pretty sure OP is saying job hunting has gotten worse because job board websites are throttled.
