I still see plenty of remote jobs to apply for on LinkedIn, but I have noticed that there are a lot more applicants now. A few months back it would often be single digit numbers of applicants. Now it will often be well into the double digits of applicants.

Those numbers mean nothing. They are borderline rand() sometimes, in most cases when there's an external application form it will count you as an applicant right after clicking. Whether you actually applied doesn't matter.
