There's a reason Udacity does not release hiring stats

My advice would be to leave it off your resume but put the projects on your resume (or include a link to them on your github)

Yes but the problem is that barrier to entry is proportional to prestige so there is very little prestige associated with nanodegrees. Whether it's right or wrong companies care about prestige. Not all of them of course but I have found this to be true for the most in-demand jobs.

The problem is that there is almost no barrier to entry for nanodegrees.

I don't think it's quite that simple. For example there are many companies out there who will filter out resumes without particular degrees or degrees from less prestigious universities. But maybe that is subsumed by your A)

Is this because of the latest JRE podcast?
