No matter how many companies say they are hiring, oftentimes they don't. They put out notices that they are hiring just to boost the morale of strained workers, and there is zero intention to hire anyone who applies.
I used to mod about 3 dozen big/medium Subreddits too. It was worth it though, because through it I somehow found my girlfriend of 1 year. Drama was a real headache in those places.
Awfully silly decision.
