Job interviews starting to feel like a waste of time

I get optimistic every time I get an interview which is like 1/50 places I apply to, and I agree to every stipulation they have because I am indeed desperate but it’s just the same ole same ole. Same little fake smile and “we think you’d be perfect” only to never hear back and most of these places are still “urgently” hiring. I don’t even drive to interviews anymore🤣they ain’t getting a cent out of gas money from me
