Ordinary, non-elite jobseekers (at least in the US) NEED a job or they will be homeless. If you want somebody to stop asking for a job, give them a job.

Being in (important) need for a job doesn't make it any more legit to blindly spam others - especially those in the same boat.

		Maybe not, but it does mean that the request for empathy in this post is completely backwards. It's a minor annoyance for the poster, and life or death for the sender. I get spam to tell me about promotions for Australian McDonalds locations I've never been to (I live in the US, have never been to Australia, and never intend to go). Surely he can muster enough empathy to click delete on this along with the 40k other messages he is getting from automated, venture-backed spam outfits.

I don’t understand how that follows. The poster in this thread is looking for a job. How are they supposed to give someone a job if they’re searching for one themselves?

		My understanding is that: - they assume jobseeker/spammers through those bots contact anyone being active in the HN "who wants to be hired" - one should show empathy for them because they are also in need for a job, and not complain about those dishonest methods
