The amount of ads I see for triplebyte and their copy cats is ridiculous. There must be huge money in it right now. Kind of reminds me of the code school fad a few years ago. I think they figured out actually educating people is hard/impossible. It’s a lot easier if they can get you to pass some basic coding test and quickly place you with one of their clients for big $$$.

For the last few years there have been a vast number of articles on Tedium with the title "Hiring is broken" where you always find a few mentions of Triplebyte. It's an open secret that they've spent a lot of money on paying bloggers to not just get their message out, but to make sure you are surrounded by mentions of Triplebyte so you think it is a thing.

It seems that they've realized that using the same tired headline over and over on the same tired Tedium site is damaging their credibility so now they are spreading the cash around to other blogs, new headlines, etc.

I have nothing to do with triplebyte. I watched one video of them talking about noise in the hiring process. Wasn't aware they were so disliked!

How is this financed? The company is mentioned once, not linked, not even spelled correctly.
