What's Happening with React Frontend Job Openings?

Lately, I've noticed something that's really made me think: Frontend React professionals with 10, 15, even 20 years of experience are looking for jobs on LinkedIn for over 5 months.

This makes me wonder:

Do you think job openings for React frontend developers are becoming outdated?

If so, or if you have a different perspective, please leave your suggestions in the comments. I'm curious to hear the community's opinion!

That being said, most job posts nowadays don't have a technology in the title. It would say something like "Senior Frontend Engineer", and have React as one of the skills listed for the job.

Man, I've really been thinking about this. Especially here in LATAM, I feel that it's more difficult, and salary expectations can significantly impact a developer's leverage. Of course, that might just be my perception, but I strongly feel this
