Woof, it does genuinely seem that if you "cold apply" to basically any job these days it goes straight to /dev/null. At this point I don't even bother unless I have a foot in the door through some irl networking means. It can be friend of a friend who works there or I met someone at a conference or even just talked at a booth. It doesn't have to be much but not applying through the web form is the only way to get an interview.
