Regardless of all this, this kind of job "interview" is better than 99% of all tech interviews I have given.

Ask me to prototype something that I would use in the actual job. Don't ask me random algo question. Don't ask me why I am so excited to work for your stupid company that I hadn't even heard of before applying

I'm pretty sure if a company asked me to implement a feature for them as part of the interview process and didn't offer to pay me I would know up front that it's a bad company. Maybe you have a point that it is a good "interview" since it flags the place as a crap hole.
