    This is simply hyperbole. I had reached out via LinkedIn to atleast 50 people in 3 months, each time with a customized message. Guess how many even accepted my invite?. Zero. If it costs a ton of money to recruit through online when all you need a candidate to do "one specific thing", you might as well make the entire hiring process all about that "one specific thing". The truth is the job search process is fuked up. It's entirely skewed against an honest candidate who has skills and the hunger to achieve something.

    Unfortunately the best version of yourself may not be what recruiters are looking for due to AI. AI removes alot more about the person than their experiences and qualifications. It's looking like it's a turn for the worst.

    I agree with you on that jobs get promoted and those promoted jobs will get a lot of eyeballs, but not all jobs are promoted. Most companies will buy job slots (i.e. Linkedin, Monster, Dice, CareerBuilder) and they can post jobs on those slots without promoting them. Regarding Indeed and Google Jobs, those are aggregators so they scrape company careers sites/ATS systems to pull jobs onto Indeed. Yes, you can buy promoted slots but they do pull jobs in from companies career pages. I say this because there are still good opportunities out there on Job Boards that are not promoted jobs.
