I get why people want someone to use their product to see if they'd want to work on it, but as an observation, see this as an increasing trend and seeing half of a "I'm hiring" post dedicated to "Hey, install our product, here's how" gives hints of companies who are basically harvesting potential job candidates for DAUs...

I get you but I think it's fair to ask. You have no idea how enraging it is to dedicate a whole hour to someone for interview only to ask at the end (you know at this stage) if they used the product and they say "no" and look slightly ashamed and retarded.

Every single place I've ever applied to, I've used their product DEEPLY

But like, you can't ask - you just gotta wade through a million retards.
