I don't know if this particular question is real, but I wouldn't surprised if it is. I've seen job postings that want an essay on why you want the job and all kinds of other bullshit in lieu of the usual (admittedly pretty useless) process. It strikes me as a way to make the process even less objective than it is already, because god fucking forbid the decision be based on anything other than whether the interviewer personally likes the applicant.
I will attest to the "please post a video of yourself" questions on job applications. Before Covid made everyone go crazy, I was throwing apps out in Texas for whatever, and several of them had these same kinds of things in them. I patently refused to do them, and instead of a link I left scathing comments about "give me a real interview, this is stupid," but they are 100% real. This isn't a meme image.
