Lately it feels like most job platforms are more about data than jobs. You upload your resume, fill in tons of details—and then what? Endless emails, spam, and not many real callbacks.

I’m starting to think we’re the product, not the customer.

Even on LinkedIn, I’ve seen an increase in suspicious messages, fake recruiters, and sketchy offers asking for personal info.

What’s actually worked for you?

Direct company websites? Referrals? Smaller niche boards?

Curious what people here trust now—because the usual platforms aren’t feeling very reliable anymore.

I’ve been buying oranges from Costco for years, but lately something feels off. In almost every bag, I’m finding 5–6 bad oranges, which never used to happen.

What’s strange is that when I buy similar oranges from Walmart or other grocery stores, I don’t run into this issue at all. Even more recently, I’ve started noticing the same problem with plums too.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did Costco change suppliers, or is there something going on with fruit quality lately?
