I have a similar approach that works well, you just need one more filtering step.

Anyone who reacts negatively to the salary request, you ignore and move on. Don't even bother replying.

For the "lets hop on a call" folks, I have a second copy-paste that just politely states that my schedule is tight between interviewing and my day job and that I want to ensure a reasonable fit is possible before investing a lot of time.

Anyone who _still_ hasn't given a clear answer after those 2 tries I stop replying to.

To be clear, well north of 90% of inbound linkedin recruiters will fail this test, but I've found it to be a surprisingly low-effort way to separate valid opportunities from uninteresting recruiter spam
