# 'Remote for Visibility': 60,000 Upvotes and One Collective Expletive

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Job seeker · via r/recruitinghell

A recruiter posted a fully on-site role to a job board and tagged it as "Remote." The job description, unrepentant, included the phrase "Remote for visibility" — openly admitting the tag was a lie designed to game the algorithm. A Reddit user posted it to r/recruitinghell under the title "F**k right off." It earned 60,000 upvotes. Commenters proposed flooding the company's ATS with fake AI-generated applications as retaliation.
