The interviewee is getting an opportunity. There’s a clear imbalance of power, but it’s not wholly exploitative.
That being said, I do remind my interviewees to not worry about my time during the interview, because I’m getting paid to be there, and it’s more fun than a meeting.
The idea that the person who gets nothing from an interview should be thankful for the opportunity is utterly brain dead.
The other perspective is that after digging through literally hundreds or thousands of applications, I picked you and we both took a huge chunk out of our day to try to connect. Did you like the interview? Did you have questions after? Did I do a good job explaining the role? There’s so much left unsaid after an interview that it does help to give a hiring manager closure, particularly if they have to interview a dozen other people that day. You’re not dancing for my enjoyment, you’re showing you care more than the 11 other people who shrugged and wandered off after without thinking about it. And the hundreds more in the following week or weeks.
I’m just more likely to remember people who seem engaged and enthusiastic to work.
LOL fuck that. We each shared our precious time. I will thank you for yours at the end of each session.
Actually, this did remind me of the time that a recruiter gave me a thank-you gift at the end of an interview. He was very respectful of my time.

Yes, thank your masters for considering you for further exploitation
This is normal
This is good
You know, you don’t HAVE to get a job.
Do you have a good relationship with your parents?
Do you have any older, wealthier people in your neighborhood who expressed that you’re attractive?
Do you or your family have paid-off land that can be worked for sustenance?
There are TONS of options other than working!
🙄
