I walk away if they won't compensate me. Not worth my time or the time of any engineer.

Usually the tasks are remedial like "visualize this api using x tech with y library". Things that you have 10+ github projects posted that could easily be used as a reference.

The interview process has not once proceeded when I refused a task on the basis of already having an example of the requested posted. If that isn't a sign of things to come to you, I don't know what would be.

What do you do to find organizations that won't waste professional time in the hiring process?

I 100% agree with you. The writing is on the wall.
