A question I've had on my mind for a while now, watching this progression of fake or poisoned jobs, and miles of automatic systems to navigate:

At what point do people consider the well poisoned? Where they just check out and stop applying, to specific companies or in general, because its very very obvious that there isnt actually a valid hiring market at all.

I ask this question, because I've already passed this threshold, and have instead devoted the maximum of my time to personal ventures.

Same here. After a certain point you are doing yourself a disservice by enduring rejection notices if you actually have the skills you claim to.

The hardest part is having faith in yourself and the possibility of acquiring a customer.

Rejection notices? I get ghosted. I would welcome a rejection notice.
