It is because they hired more and trend changed.

The hiring boom happened around 2021-2022. It is due to:

1. Covid hire freeze 2. Company expects online trends continue and more and more people will rely online activities.

However, the 2nd part is not true and the over-hired are laid off.

No need to mention economy is not good and interests rate still high.

all those combined together, cause job opportunities are low right now.

AI is not a factor. Yes, AI is powerful, but AI is not powerful enough to build software from scratch on its own. it did more damage on jobs like art, writers, translators, etc.

unfortunately, it will be less and less purely human generated content any more. it will be more and more AI generated or AI assisted content in the future.

We are angry because we grow up in an age that content are generated by human and computer bot are inefficient. however, for newer generation, AI generated content will be a new normal, like how we see people from a big flat box (TV)
