What should I make of this response?

Hi folks. So I just finished all the rounds for a role in one of the leading retail companies (name starts with A). I thought the rounds went pretty smoothly. My friend works there and she told me that the hiring manager liked me. After all the rounds were over, I reached out to the recruiter on updates and she asked me what is my notice period (this was on 9th March, I finished interviewing on 2nd). I told her it’s 60 days but negotiable! I thought it was going in the right direction. I follow up again yesterday and she tells me that she hasn’t heard back from the interviewers yet. I was kinda banking on this as I have a non-tech role and this was a great opportunity which is quite rare for my skillset (content, creative). I do want to get some opinions on how should I read this entire exchange with the HR!

Cars24 APM Interview - Worst experience

Around a month ago, HR called to ask if I was interested in the APM role. After following up multiple times for the interview, they said the hiring manager didn't like your profile. After 2-3 weeks, different HR reached out, saying they want to conduct round - 1 for the same team. The interview happened, and I reached out to HR after 3-4 days for the next steps, but she kept cutting my calls and completely ghosted me. I reached out to another HR, and she said the feedback on the portal was that "experience is not enough." I was pretty disappointed as while conducting interviews, HRs reached out to me so many times, but they couldn't even send an automated email for feedback. But it didn't end there. The HR who ghosted me called again after a couple of weeks to schedule round 1 with another team. The interview went well, and the interviewer asked me about my availability for round 2 and when I could join them, etc., saying we would try to conduct the next round soon. When I reached out for feedback, HR kept saying I'll call you later. I'm busy right now, and then they ghosted me. After following up multiple times, she said the feedback wasn't positive. I hoped for round 2 here since the interviewer seemed convinced and contented with my profile. Now, just because I reached out 10s of times, they told me that I have been rejected! How much time does it take to send an automated email? :/
