"Did They Ghost You?" Hits 434 Points as an Anonymous Registry of Companies That Vanish After Interviews

didtheyghostyou.com reached 434 points and 195 comments on HN, placing third on the front page. It collects anonymous, moderator-approved reports of companies that stop responding after conducting interviews — explicitly excluding unanswered applications — and asks for no name or email, aggregating approved reports into per-company communication records. The engagement level, not the tool, is the finding: a crowdsourced hiring-accountability tracker outdrew every AI model story on HN today except the Claude 5 context engineering post, in the same 24 hours that Stanford reported 5.6% recent-graduate unemployment.
