This feels like it's going to cause a lot of damage to the commons.
If one person does this, no big deal.
If everyone starts doing this, you're basically just creating spam. It'll become like LinkedIn job applications.

    > I don't get it, so far as I can tell you still need to manually choose whether to RSVP? It's not like it's going to RSVP to all events for you.
    The title itself does say "automatically apply to events".
    I'm guessing this came about because many organisers have some sort of pre-acceptance filter these days, to minimise the attendee signal-to-noise ratio (which, stupidly, often relies on job titles).
