I've come to believe that there is a Murphy's law equivalent for tech recruiting. "If you can be abused as a technical candidate, you will be." It's just going to happen eventually that recruiters, either individual recruiters or recruitment firms/companies as a whole, will abuse your rights to just about everything or treat you with disrespect at some point or another. Developers are just commodities for these guys now.

IDK when it recently started but I've been getting direct messages from various recruiters to an email that I only make public on certain open source packages. As a result I remove all instances of email and just mark every recruiter that I never reached out to as spam.

It's just so disrespectful, as you said.

What is disrespectful? Their job? I think it only becomes disrespectful when they keep nagging after you have told them off or something. Otherwise, they are just doing their job, seeking out good candidates. It's not like all of them are conniving to swamp you, they act individually and what you eventually hate is the sum of those individual parts.

They're no different from any other spammer who trawls through repos and forums scooping up email addresses.

Whether it's dick pills or job opportunities, it's spam.
