I just found a job add that downright threatens applicants to only send serious applications. Otherwise they'll report you to the job center

Well, there may be a few that tries that, but no. The majority are people in real problems, or people really wanting jobs. The State are trying to pressure these people to get employed as soon as possible, rather than look for the perfect job for years. You can only get the support for 4 years anyway, so it's not like it's a lifelong career or anything.
This isn't "social welfare" as much as "unemployment welfare". There's a difference. To get this better money paid out, you have to be a paying member of some sort of unemployment security, and they are technically the ones giving you the money. While the unemployment welfare do pay more than regular social welfare, it also forces people to look for jobs. And there's a lot of state regulations involved with people that are unemployed. Most people in the system want to be employed, and the people the new "everyone needs a job now" system seems to hit harder than anyone are actually the academics. But I could be biased, of course. My unemployment support-people are for academics and only focus on stuff relevant for us. ;)
So to sum it up, there may be a few people trying to trick the system. But the overall majority are people with real health problem, artists that have part time jobs to support them as they cannot live of their art, or people sincerely wanting a useful job (they just want a job that corresponds to their skills). If this were about people tricking the system or committing fraud, you can be quite certain that argument would have been used more in the media. ;)
