Post a fake job and get followers

In recent times, I've observed a concerning trend where numerous individuals, including some HR professionals, are posting job listings. Many of these posts require users to log in to their web apps, ostensibly to collect email addresses for advertising purposes and often demand an excessive amount of personal details. Unfortunately, a significant portion of these job openings never materialize, leaving job seekers frustrated. Moreover, HR professionals sometimes request comments like "yes" and "interested" without providing a direct link to apply, promising to "get back to you soon" but rarely doing so.

LinkedIn's feed also appears inundated with content geared towards gaining followers rather than delivering valuable insights. While there is a demand for followers, it often comes at the expense of substantial content. It's a situation that can be disheartening for those seeking genuine job opportunities and meaningful engagement on professional platforms.

Have you noticed this as well, or is it just me? I'd appreciate hearing your perspective on the matter.

Dark patterns indeed. And the same folks give lectures on business ethics and culture.
For an applicant, a job may be a means for a living, a path out of poverty, but for them, it's just a cell in an excel sheet.
They can do as they please.
