    I seriously doubt 1000 fake job listings will make any kind of difference. 10-100X would be needed to actually make a dent.

      correct but hopefully people realize these sites are just garbage and give up on them altoghether… because waiting on the gov to hold them accountable is too much to ask

        I think plenty of people know that but usually don’t have any way of avoiding them when they need income. Businesses are the ones that need to realize.

          Sure, but what’s the point of going to these sites (as a job seeker) when they are just loaded with garbage. You are wasting your time there

            Some people don’t see any other options for themselves and are able to convince themselves that maybe they’ll find the needle in the garbage pile

            Also, some people live in shithole red states where they need to prove to some state agency they’re spending so many hours a week looking for work or their healthcare gets shut off. I think you’re right about these sites being a waste but I also think you wouldn’t ever be able to explain that to a lot of the caseworkers out there who could be deciding your fate.
