I get at least one piece of junk mail a month:

"We saw your profile on github and thought you might be a suitable candidate for our open position at $CRYPTO startup.

PS you must be a US-citizen, and the job is 100% on-site"

Those things seem to be blasted out with no regard for my location - I'm not looking for a developer job anyway - but certainly not one in another country.

Spamming github users seems to be the latest growth hack, and it drives me nuts. I made all my repositories archived when I started getting hit with AI-PRs to review, but I'm reaching a point where I think my life would be easier if I just closed the account.

I get the same emails, and I don't even have a github profile.
