Could you clarify your main point? Are you saying Triplebyte promised to change the interview game, but in reality, interviewing with them is the same as going through a regular interview process?

It seems quite different though: you interview once with them, and then go directly to off-sites at multiple companies. Even if the interview is the same, the process is still quite different as you no longer have to send out numerous resumes and go through HR screening and first-round interviews.

Or maybe I misunderstood your point?

In my experience, it was basically the same as talking to a non-technical recruiter that doesn't know any of the qualifications they're looking for. When I tried them out, the "interview" was some guy persistently asking me questions about things wholly unrelated to my resume, skillset, and industry, even after they were told. The experience was pretty off-putting, especially with the later opt-out disaster.
