Is ATS killing remote hiring, or is this just a Dayton problem?

I’m gearing up for gastric sleeve surgery in June and trying to understand what the remote job market is doing right now.

My background is a mix of technical operations and documentation (coding + onboarding docs for a distributed volunteer dev team), plus seven years of high‑pressure operations/compliance work at TDCJ and earlier experience in manufacturing, retail, and radio.

Lately everything I apply to is either mislabeled, nonexistent, or gets eaten by ATS before a human ever sees it. Is anyone else running into this?

Is this just the state of remote hiring right now, or is it worse in certain regions like Dayton?
