More than a quarter of the applications answered it anyway.
I wonder how many of that 25% simply missed the note. People make mistakes like this all the time. And I also wonder how many people noticed this before feeding it to their AI.
It’s fun to see until you think about how many of that 25% - already jobless and kinda depressed and with very little ability to tell Contra to take any exploitative or manipulative hiring practices and shove them—saw the note and concluded it was an oversight, an obvious arbitrary filter for applicants who wanted to put in less effort, or some other stupid-clever scheme by Contra’s hiring managers; and thus decided that it’d be safest to just answer it anyway.
