Do you do the virtual one sided interviews?
I'm still searching for a job. On some of these applications they want a 1-3 minute video of me just answering questions to myself and send it in. If feels scammy, but maybe I'm just not doing it right. What do you do?

No. Never. It's demeaning and unnecessary.
I know it happens nowadays, but I've been on both sides of the hiring process and I refuse to have any part in it.
As a hiring manager I find it to be a complete waste of time. I’d rather talk to someone for 15 min and decide whether or not to push forward with a longer format interview than waste 5 watching a video.
Same. Hell, the conversation doesn't even have to be in person - a phone call will do.
That's what my previous job did exactly - I put my application in and answered some custom questions they had. My future supervisor calls me and we talked for about 10 minutes, then he asked me to come in for an actual interview. Did the interview and next week found out I was hired.
