There would be no need for people attempting to circumvent stupid restrictions if stupid restrictions didn't exist in the first place.

Unless people are expecting the market and companies to bend to their needs and the cost to apply to 1000 jobs is low, because "you miss all the shots you don't take"?

Like Intrinsic is... combating spam. Would spam not exist if there were no spam filters?

Having to fill out a job application is now a "stupid restriction"?
Usually, yes. Everything the application asks for is on my resume. And required cover letters are ridiculous, "please write 10 paragraphs fluffing our company and HR department". Of course I'm going to automate the shit out of that.
Thanks, I was wondering how to explain it :-)
