What are acceptable reasons for a gap in a CV?

I have an applicant with a 6 week gap in their CV.

I’ve gone in with years as a gap and still got the job
Let’s be honest, everyone is picking chads they want to work with and not some loser with no gap in history
Last interview that asked about my gap I just told them I created a crypto (true story) and they acted like I was a genius for not working

If they have a six week gap that means when they quit their old job they didn't have a new one lined up. If they quit jobs that easily that they couldn't even wait until they had one ready then it means they're likely to quit over basically anything and you'll lose them pretty quickly. Do not hire.

Id probably end the interview with you if you ever asked about a gap smaller than 2 years, let alone 6 weeks.
1 year you wouldnt even know because i would just put years on my resume.
Its a chud move to ask at all. Ask about skills and my fit in your company if you're good. Asking about experience and time is what you do if you're a run of the mill, c tier recruiter and never wanted to put in more than minimal effort.

Now that I'm not entry level I see these types of questions as a red flag. Anytime they are asking questions that have nothing to do with your skills and experience it means it's a low skill job with hundreds of low skill candidates and they're just fishing for the biggest cuck slave they can find. These are also the types of jobs with 3 rounds of interviews, "please send 3 professional references", and other big time wasters.
I've been looking to job hop since August and all the interviews that went like described above dragged on for over a month and either I didn't get an offer or the offer was week. The offer I finally accepted was 3 days from application to offer letter .
