Last time I applied for a job, I applied for 3 jobs, landed 2 interviews, got into the second round for both and took the one that matches the most with what I wanted and paid well.
Applying to 100+ jobs just sounds like spray and pray. This was admittedly 6 years ago and not in the US, but still if you already have experience it shouldn't be that hard.
Also admittedly, for my first job I applied for 30+ positions, getting into the second round once. After that I took a break from applying because I wanted to study up on how to actually land a job. After reading about how to conduct yourself in a job interview, I applied again and landed the first job I applied to.
All that to say that there is a certain skill required for applying and interviewing. Probably a hugely unpopular opinion here, but I stand by it.
That's how it used to be for me too, something has changed. Before this current job search, I'd never put out more than 4 applications to get a job. Now I've put out dozens (I refuse to spray and pray), and am still unemployed 6 months later.
Society will frame this as self-sacrifice. They won't recognize that you're trying to survive long-term. They'll pretend blindly following commands would give you better chances of survival and health than a "refusal" that leads to 6 months of unemployment. They will sacrifice your health and well-being in the name of reframing what you're doing, pretending you're the one sacrificing your health and well-being to protest your choices not being exactly what you want, when you're actually just trying to survive while offered choices that aren't viable.
Or maybe you actually are intentionally protesting. Nothing wrong with that. But a lot of people aren't
