HN – Ask HN: Would you reapply to a company that ghosted you?

Having gone through multiple rounds of interviews at different companies large and small, only to be ghosted is an incredibly frustrating experience. It's happened five times now. Including interviews I thought went really well, and one where the manager verbally assured me I'd be invited back for the next round. Not only is it unprofessional, it's a complete waste of my time invested.

Would you apply to another position at a company that did this? Personally, I have decided to blacklist every company that does this on general principle, not only for the perceived lack of courtesy, but it seems to be a harbinger of corporate dysfunction. What are your thoughts on this practice?
