I'm very sympathetic to the idea that employers started this crap, and are basically getting a taste of their own medicine. That said, I will ignore spam from recruiters I have no conversation with, or if the recruiter shows signs of actually having read my resume and contacted me deliberately I will politely reply that I am not in the market, but I cannot imagine "ghosting" a recruiter or company that I have an ongoing conversation with, although some have done that to me. I try to treat people professionally, and in the way I would wish to be treated.
