I have less experience (~2 years), but I tend to use these projects to add to my projects page on my portfolio and I try to add something to each project that I don't already know, like Typescript or such.

That being said, I think they're a massive waste of time, especially positions that don't exist or that they already had decided against you. I've had two of them in the last two months both of which didn't lead to phone interviews.
