Do they though? Being a reddit mod for a sub that covers an industry you have a vested interest in with no other mods with similar backgrounds really does sound like a well traffic'd and successful bully pulpit.

My company works with a lot of bootcamp grads later on in their careers so wouldn't I have an interest in promoting bootcamps so more people go and create more customers down the road?

I recommended a bunch of people go to Codesmith until February 2024, when the first signs of collapsed started.

A person with integrity would have promoted bootcamps and recused themselves from smearing competitors.
