Is everyone ignoring the fact that companies do this to make themselves look bigger than they are compared to the competition and/or to pretend economic success?
Sometimes it's a 100% remote job, and they still post it multiple times with different locations.
They probably litter job portals this way so that they can compensate for the frequent personell changes. They are impossible to miss.

That's a really good point. It's public data, so it's also a way for investors to gage success.
It’s a pretty bad signal if your series B startup isn’t hiring actively all the time.
The main problem is: even if the interviewee knocks it out of the park, is an amazing engineer, I still am not interested in firing my OPT/h1b team member who can still legally work for 2-3 years. So while I will deny their green card application and not submit it, I also won’t hire the interviewee
What’s the difference between a ghost job and opportunistic hiring? I’ve never seen any team I work for put out a job posting with no intention of hiring and I’ve certainly never participated in interviewing a candidate where there is no intention to hire. However, I have seen my team put out a job posting where we only intend to hire if we get an applicant that is unexpectedly good.
Low quality postings are often just there for compliance purposes to justify visas. Less ethical companies may casually mention to outside HR people that folks are applying.
It happens all of the time.

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.
