> If you want a senior for a junior's salary and think you'll get one by leaving the salary range blank, go pound sand.

No one thinks they are getting away with anything but you. I don't get why you are so mad most people don't consider not knowing the salary beforehand a reason not to go on an interview. Not posting the salary on the job ad has never been the reason a position has been left unfilled.

People don't consider it a reason not to go on an interview because 95-99% of job postings don't include it because they know nobody else does and they can get away with it and applicants don't have a choice. If a reasonable number of postings included a salary range, omitting one would tank an ad's response rates and you'd see the trend change very quickly.
If things were different, yes, things would be different.
