I've had 3 fully remote positions in my career so far and I found them in the following ways:

1) filtering listings on AngelList ---> the job before last

2) searching "remote" on the "Who is Hiring?" threads here of HN ---> my last job

3) looking at the job listing page of companies whose work interests me who I've heard have remote-friendly or -only cultures ---> my current job and most of the places I'm currently applying

No, they have not dried up; about a year ago, I changed jobs, effectively doubling my already six-figure salary. I'm currently in the interview process again and from my experience so far, while I don't think I'll be doubling my salary, I do expect the position I end up taking will probably pay $30,000-$50,000 more than I currently make without any sort of jump in title.

YMMV; I'm a senior cloud engineer with 8 years of experience (all non-FAANG), though no academic CS background. Another caveat: starting right before COVID, I made the decision to only ever work remote, so all my experience with the job market in the past few years is only with 100% remote positions.
