Ask HN: Why everyone is wasting time by solving question on leetcode?

Most tech companies have moved away from leetcode style questions. Why y'all are wasting time by solving questions on platforms like leetcode?

I don't do leetcode myself, but I frequently do clash of code on codingame. I do this for fun, and sometimes as a warmup to get better motivation before work.

last time i interviewed about 1.5 years ago that bullshit was still going on. has it changed now? i have the impression this is still being required and nothing has changed. degrees and experience still seem to be in the back seat.
