That's a common experience lately. The job market is really difficult. Some organizations seem to go through the motions of hiring, but don't actually commit to making an offer. And just getting an interview seems more difficult than ever.
This is exactly what is happening to me. I tailor every resume to the job I am applying for and still nothing. The job market is really bad right now.

I honestly want to know the real reason for this. Is our job market shrinking due to tech advancement and there just aren’t enough jobs to go around, making it highly competitive? In this case, what really makes an applicant stand out from the rest?
All the time but no reply

Yeah, that happens a lot. Getting views but no follow up usually means something in the application is getting attention, but not enough to push you into the next step. It does not always mean the CV is bad, sometimes it just means the pool is crowded and people are getting filtered out fast.
