Mainstream jobs sites like Indeed and Linked in attract a lot of spamy, low quality job postings (for software engineering gigs, at least, but I suspect the same is true of other industries and positions).
So where ought software engineers look for a higher interesting-and-well-compensated-jobs-to-total-jobs ratio?
